March 26, 200719 yr You can't compare records between the two conferences, with that being said I'd take Few over Barnes as a COACH.
March 26, 200719 yr 2006-07 Gonzaga 23-11 .676 And let's take a look at who he's playing. 2 games every year against each of the following: Santa Clara St. Mary's San Francisco San Diego Loyola Marymount Portland Pepperdine He's a good coach and they beat some good teams OOC, but his win % gets greatly inflated playing in the WCC. Exactly what I was thinking. I think he's a solid coach but those numbers can be very deceiving!
March 26, 200719 yr I like Barnes and would put him up against the best recruiters in the country but I don't think much of his coaching. He would be at the bottom of my top 5-6.
March 29, 200719 yr I guess he would do good against mid majors, he get a lot of practice out of conference. 1999-2000 Hawaii Oral Roberts San Diego 57 61 L Massachusetts Princeton 46 56 Neutral L 2001-2002 Tex.

Bottom line I was not a fan when he was at Clemson, and he ran Providence in the ground. I think UK can do much better than little ricky barnes.
March 29, 200719 yr I notice you used selective memory in listing the OOC opponents for Texas. Every major program plays cupcakes OOC...
March 29, 200719 yr I've heard that Barnes has already said he is not interested, at all. Maybe it's just a plot to try and keep Durant in Texas.... The only way to "keep Durant in Texas" is for the Mavs, Spurs or Rockets to trade up and draft him. He is gone.
