-Comes from one of the best basketball coaching families, been around the game his entire life
-Including his father, who is a hall of famer, and the best high school basketball coach of all time
-Completely turned around St. Benedict's Prep and made them into a national powerhouse
-Went to a small NEC school in Staten Island, and brought in great recruits including a top 100 recruit who at once committed to Mich. St
-He has the contacts, he's part of coaching history, and he knows the game and understands the players better than any other coach in the A-10
-Has worked with players of all ages, and his brother a former Duke star and could have been an NBA star will be his main assistant

Yes this is an opinion but don't act like its a non coherent thing to say, it makes plenty of sense and I included some factors for you.

Using criteria like this, one might say Travis Ford would be the greatest coach in the a10. But he wasn't.

Danny Hurley has a grizzly bear carpet in his living room. The bear isn't dead, it's just afraid to move.

Didn't finish first there and bolted on those recruits.

Wait...I'm getting ready to Hurl...

Jim Baron to coach at Canisius
http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/blog/eye-on-college-basketball/18227307/former-uri-coach-jim-baron-lands-at-canisius

The "Golden Griffins" went 5-25 this season and have not had a winning season since 2000-01. But hey, at least Baron gets to live in Buffalo. Oh, wait.

Glad to see he landed somewhere. He's a good coach, I think most coaches have a 7-10 year time period at a school and then should move on, except for the special few.
