You act like Donovan is light years better and he has only been to one more Final Four. It's not exactly easy getting to the Final Four. Likwise, Donovan was really only winning big win his team was loaded with talent. Why is it a knock against Self when his team loaded?
Self has a damn good resume. What's wrong with constantly being a top 10 team and winning your league?
You bring up Shaka out coaching Self but that was only one game. Pitino got out coached by Morehead State last year. When Pitino loses to a 13 seed he is still elite but when Self loses to an 8 seed in the second roun he a bad big name coach?
Shaka is an up and coming coach but Self still has a lot better resume.
Again...
