Probably because Bennett had a history of winning before

he took the UVA job, in three years at WSU he already had more tourney wins than CM has in his career.
I also do not recall Bennett being gifted with a top five recruiting class and an all-league player his first season at UVA.
He also only had one losing season in his first four and every season was an improvement over the year before.
I'm almost certain he did not rebuild his roster with mid-major players and unwanted HS recruits in year five because he only had three scholarship players on the roster.
So no, I'm not really seeing the similarities here.
