I've been of the opinion the #1 reason the SEC struggles in terms of national perception and results is the lack of quality coaching in this league. I'm not even sure who you would put as #2, and frankly the clear #1 in Calipari is probably at best a slightly above avg coach and that is probably being kind.
But anyway, some interesting observations:
https://www.seccountry.com/sec/sec-basketball-coaching-group-is-sneaky-good-but-still-no-match-for-acc
- SEC coaches have the second-most career wins (3,800) of the seven major conferences behind the ACC.
- The SEC group is third with a .647 winning percentage, behind the Big 12 (.691) and ACC (.677).
- Among coaches who have not won an NCAA tournament game, LSU’s Johnny Jones has coached the second-most career games (498).
- The SEC group is very similar to the Big 12 group. Career games (SEC: 5,873 vs. Big 12: 5,642), tournament appearances (tied at 83), tournament wins (Big 12: 124, SEC: 119) and Final Four appearances (Big 12: 11, SEC: 10) are all tightly contested. The SEC has a clear edge in total victories (3,800 vs. 3,497) and winning percentage (.647 vs. .620).
- All 15 ACC coaches, all 10 Big 12 coaches and all 12 Pac-12 coaches have made at least one national tournament appearance. The SEC has 3 coaches who have never made an NCAA tourney.
