Did a quick check today on past and current Arkansas coaching accomplishments.

Initially, I limited it to the first 7 years of coaches who were at Arkansas for at least 7 years.

Eddie Sutton
5 NCAA tourney appearances in first 7 years.
Reached Final Four once.
Reached Elite Eight twice (ended in Elite Eight once, hit Elite Eight on way to Final Four)

Nolan Richardson
5 NCAA tourney appearances in first 7 years.
Reached Final Four Once
Reached Elite Eight twice (again, like Sutton, ended in Elite 8, and got to Elite 8 on way to Final Four)

Mike Anderson
Two NCAA tourney appearances. (Will probably get third this year, but it hasn't happened yet)
Never got past 2nd round (may change this year, but who knows?)

For comparison's sake, I also looked up coaches who did not stay for at least 7 years.

Stan Heath
Only 5 years.
Two NCAA appearances
Never got past 1st round.

John Pelphrey
Only 4 years.
Only 1 NCAA appearance (first year, with Heath's players)

Judged by NCAA tourney appearances, Mike Anderson is pretty much Stan Heath only with pressure defense, most nostalgic ties to Arkansas' glory years, and less offensive strategy.

Pretty context-less and simplistic way to look at it. But.....hard to ignore the lack of tournament appearances. Things seem to be on the upswing now, though, so better late than never.

The cold hard truth!  I would put Anderson in sane group as Pelphrey and Heath. Only difference is Anderson has been given a pass.  His loyalists can sit down and suck it.

He's not a hall of fame coach never will be. but that doesnt mean he won't give us 25 wins plus for the next 5 years and stabilize the program

There are clearly positive differentiators from Health and Pelphrey. The APR and overall culture of the program cratered under Heath. Pelphrey helped to clean up the APR but did nothing to improve culture (might have actually made it worse through recruiting gambles on character risks). Heath had an overall winning % of 53.6% and an SEC winning % of 39%. Pelphrey's was 54% overall and 39% in the SEC. Mike's is currently 64% overall (that's 10 percentage points better than his two predecessors) and 56% in SEC play (up 17% from Heath and Pelphrey). He set a program record for SEC road wins. He's been to the SEC Tournament Final two of three seasons. He's advanced in the tournament both times he'd made it there and came within a hair of knocking off UNC to go to the Sweet 16 while Pelphrey lost to UNC by like 40 points.

It's okay if you think Mike Anderson hasn't done an exceptional job at Arkansas, but Health and Pelphrey are so far beneath him, it isn't even funny.

And one very important ommission on your part. Stan Heath's model was not sustainable past 5 years. He paid zero attention to detail, ran the program into the ground and set the program up to lose scholarships. Mike Anderson not only has the basketball team pointing upward, he has cleaned up a damn mess.

I knew the day they hired him, they would never fire him no matter what he did. plus, I knew he would do enough to please the nostalgia fans who would make excuses for his mediocre record. which in the terms of a top tier program, cma's career is mediocre.

I wish they would have just hired him after Nolan, by this time he would be gone, and the book would be closed.

No denying that Mike Anderson is not in the same class of coach as Eddie Sutton or Nolan Richardson. I think everyone realizes that. But can he still be a good coach for Arkansas? I think so. I think he *is* showing that, but obviously the consistency needs to be there and it hasn't been thus far. Also, fans are thirsty for a tournament run.

If he makes it through the extension of his contract,he would have been here for over a decade.so he must be doing a good job.he keeps getting extensions.he's winning games.and Bud Walton is selling out again.so his bosses and most fans must be happy.games are selling out for a reason.the unhappy people are the haters like you and a few others who are pissed that you did not get your way.

So are you claiming Sutton & Richardson are INSANE? I would have to think it might be the other way round.

Honestly lets look at the # of wins and level of competition

Sutton 1st 7 seasons all in much weaker SWC 17,19,26,32,25,21,24 Average 23 wins a year
Richardson 1st 7 season 6 in weaker SWC 12,19,21,25,30,34, 26 Average 23 wins a year
Anderson 1st 7 seasons all in SEC 18, 19, 22, 27, 16, 26, 15 (so far season not over yet) If they lose out this season Average is 20 wins a year but assume they go 5 and 5 that's an average of 21.

I did not look at overall conference records for those years nor did I look to see how many national championships / final fours teams came out of the SWC, but in the last 7 years from the SEC there have been 1 champion + 1 runner up + 6 final four teams

This is comparing the same program with 2 HOF coaches against weaker competition compared to our current coach, and your complaining...  :puke: :puke:

do you have any idea, what the basketball program was like, when Sutton took over?  plus, only 32 got into the tournament, and they played less games back then

Actually Sutton coached in an average of 32 games in his 1st 7
Richardson coached in 32.8
Anderson too date has averaged 31.8 with 10 more games this season so no

It would have been easier to get into the NCAA tourney if you played weaker competition throughout the season. That's why some want to move back to the SWC (Big 12)

I like coach Anderson.. but no one can deny that the offense is terrible. If we're not hitting the 3 we have nothin. When osu went to zone we only tried to penetrate it a couple of times and when we did we got an easy basket. Why does our offense consistently end up with a quick 3...or 4 or 5 seconds left on the shot clock with a rushed 3? Look.. whenever Macon or barford is onand knocking em down it looks good! But whenever we get in the tourney against better defensive teams I'm afraid it's gonna look bad. I hope they all get hot at the right time and make a good run in the tourney!

You forgot the first 3 years didn't count. JL wasn't the only person that felt that way. MA isn't a HOF coach, hence the comparisons seem pointless. MA is better than Heath and Pelphrey and it isn't close.

forrest city joe

The bottom line to this garbage thread. Mike Anderson got yet another extension.so he is going to be the coach here. so you haters and crybaby's can cry all you want about how Arkansas should fire him.IT'S not happening this year.his team is winning games and selling out the Bud Walton.so you can forget it.you may as well either suck it up and support our playes and our coaches.

Now we are going to see Mike's PR teams come in and try to downplay what Sutton and Richardson did here.

Sorry folks, but the regular season in college bball means very little anymore. All most people care about is the ncaat, what your seed is and how you did once you got there. There is no comparison between what Sutton and Richardson did their 1st six or 7 seasons here and what Mike has done.

To be fair, that one dance appearance that gets counted toward Pelphrey should really count towards Heath since it was all of Heath's dudes that took him there.

jabber71

Don't get me wrong, if we could clone a young Nolan and hire him tomorrow it would make my year, shoot I think even Mike would love to coach for Nolan again, but that's not going to happen, and the numbers do not lie, Mike has done well and hopefully will make Arkansas the force it once was.

As for Sutton he was successful, but I hated watching his style of play.

The calibre they were when they were hired here, or the calibre they were after they had been here as long as they were? 

You forget, Sutton was coaching at Creighton, which was an independent at the time, when JFB hired him. Oh he had the coaching pedigree, but he had done nothing terribly remarkable as a coach up to that point. Richardson was 4 seasons removed from a NIT title, and had taken Tulsa to the ncaat 3 out of 4 years but never past the 1st round.

Good gosh you are a broken record.  Haters, whiners, crybabies, sellout Bud Walton.
You left out the "YOU LOST" line.

Here is the summary of the OP post.

1. The benchmark is Nolan and Sutton
2.  Heath and Pel sucked
3.  Anderson is better than Heath and Pel
4.  In conclusion, though Anderson is better than Heath and Pel, he will never get us to benchmark performance.

Again though, Sutton and Richardson had not done alot until they got here. It is not like they were hired after going to the final 4 at their previous school or winning a nc at their previous school.

The OP pretty clearly insinuates that Anderson is akin to Heath. You're giving the TS too much credit.

Your ignorance as to the strength of the SWC in the Late 70's and early 80's is simply astounding. I'll assume you were in diapers back then or not born yet and don't know any better. Do some research and stop embarrassing yourself.
So tell me, guv, how many national championships did the SWC win in basketball?

So are you claiming Sutton & Richardson are INSANE? I would have to think it might be the other way round.

Honestly lets look at the # of wins and level of competition

Sutton 1st 7 seasons all in much weaker SWC 17,19,26,32,25,21,24 Average 23 wins a year
Richardson 1st 7 season 6 in weaker SWC 12,19,21,25,30,34, 26 Average 23 wins a year
Anderson 1st 7 seasons all in SEC 18, 19, 22, 27, 16, 26, 15 (so far season not over yet) If they lose out this season Average is 20 wins a year but assume they go 5 and 5 that's an average of 21.

I did not look at overall conference records for those years nor did I look to see how many national championships / final fours teams came out of the SWC, but in the last 7 years from the SEC there have been 1 champion + 1 runner up + 6 final four teams

This is comparing the same program with 2 HOF coaches against weaker competition compared to our current coach, and your complaining...  :puke: :puke:

So I did

Here is the mighty SWC

Members
Arkansas (1915–1991)
Baylor (1915–1996)
Houston (1972–1996)
Oklahoma (1915–1919)
Oklahoma A&M (1915–1925)
Phillips (1920)
Rice (1915–1917 provisional, 1918–1996)
SMU (1918–1996)
Southwestern (1915–1916)
Texas (1915–1996)
Texas A&M (1915–1996)
TCU (1923–1996)
Texas Tech (1956–1996)

Suttons 1st 7 years SWC 1975 to 1982 no championships 2 final four Ark in 78 & Houston in 82, so what am i missing?

True.  I guess I should have thrown in mine was how the average fan sees Anderson.  Not bad, but not a guy to get back to Nolan and Eddie.

Mike had had some bad circumstances, how many players did Sutton have that left early for pro ball, was no such thing as apr rule. Mike played with what he had, did not kick anyone off team for poor play regardless , Sutton had 15 scholarship players. Can't compare.  Anderson has now had time, he does need to have better results soon., been understanding to this point with good reason. Go Hogs.
