We must crush Butler. Glad we have Sean then Thad.

Wow. BE is stacked with quality coaches.

If Georgetown just gets rid of Ewing and hires Mack, Xavier will be the cradle of Big East coaches (including our own).

I am not going to lie: I am a little concerned about Butler getting Matta. He is an elite level coach. Anyone who does not believe so is fooling himself. Many X fans will declare that Miler is the best coach Xavier ever had. I love that we have Sean, but that notion is certainly debatable. Thad Matta was not only Sean’s mentor, he left X and took another school to two Final Fours. He also had the higher winning percentage as an X head coach. There is no denying those facts. Sean is an amazing coach, but he did not make it to a Final Four when he left X. The two of them playing against each other will help settle who is truly the better coach. If Thad can prove to be healthy enough, he is going to be one sneaky-smart hire for Butler.

We will see how coaches in their 50's do. I would rank Matta #1 and Miller #2 as all-time Xavier coaches. Matta is good. Miller is very very close though to #1.

What excuse does Butler have when they are 5th-9th in BE next year?

Sean was and is Better than Thad. Sean also got absolutely screwed against him in Lexington after coaching circles around him. Sean will own him.
