I think Thad Motta is among the worst college basketball coaches. He had one of the best big men of the last 10 years, and yet he emphasized outside shooting over the inside game where he had a decisive advantage. Instead of drawing up plays for Oden in the paint, he had his guards fire away from behind the arc. That's a very poor use of roster talent. Plus Motta got lucky in the game against Xavier, where the Xavier coach suffered from temporary insanity in failing to foul with a 3 point lead and a few seconds left in regulation. Motta almost lost to a mediocre Tennessee team as well.
