If your ONLY metric for evaluating a coach is the binary in-or-out, then you have to answer yes to that. And then you have to explain why something that happened on a court several hundred miles away from Greenberg five years ago, really has any affect at all on your opinion of him as a coach.

You are the kind of person who would have said let's trade John Elway about ten years into his career because he had failed to live up to the expectations of a number one QB and win a Super Bowl.
Saying that Tournament appearances should be the "only" metric of evaluation is just as silly as saying that actually making the thing isn't an evaluation metric at all, would you agree with that assessment?

Like I said in that other post. Say we have another decade of "really bad luck," injuries etc. As long as we get on the bubble several times but only make it once, is that enough?

Serious question: how many decades does a coach get before we start using actual tournament appearances as a significant part of the evaluation metrics?
