I would put prosser much higher on that list, Wake Forest is the most storied program he has handled, and he’s turned every program he’s had into a giant killer w/class. Plus he routinely embarasses Cincy, big plus. Maybe I’m biased but Tubby is a little too high to have on final four under his belt, the year he was handed a team. On the other hand I don’t know how he won so much with some of his teams.
