He took over a Wake Forest program in 1985 that had gone to 5 straight postseason tournaments, and went 45-69 overall and 8-48 in ACC play over the next four seasons. He resigned amid an NCAA inquiry into recruiting violations. He went 8-21 and winless in the ACC in his first season and never won more than three conference games during his four years at Wake.

But even then he had a reasonably successful 6 year run at Xavier before that showing competence, and was an NBA assistant for 5 different organizations over the next 12 years so he was obviously desired for some skill set after his failure. In my opinion Kim was worse than him in terms of qualifications, on the court production, overall impact, and after the fact desirability. You could make an argument for Staak, but it wouldn't be a very compelling one. Kim is almost certainly the worst.

                    Kim was fired because Sterk panicked - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 6/6 09:24:10
                         And also because he was the worst coach in D1 history - FIJItiger MU - 6/6 10:17:41
                              He might not be the worst. Paul Graham was probably worse. - tgr MU - 6/6 10:24:57
                                   No. Kim is without question the worst D-1 coach of all-time. - zounami MU - 6/6 10:37:50
                                        I'd consider an argument for Bob Staak - FIJItiger MU - 6/6 10:55:07

                                                                 It had literally nothing to do with it positively (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 6/6 13:49:55
