9 years of Scott Berry.... Are you satisfied?
After 9 seasons, I feel like we have a pretty good grasp on Berry's ability to lead this program. I think we've seen the ceiling. It's not bad, it's just nothing special.
Pros:
-Worst conference finish was t-3rd.
-A couple CUSA titles in both regular season and tournament.
-Hosted a Regional in 2017. 2nd ever in school history.
-He's cheap. I think we could attract a better coach, but honestly I don't think we'd be will to pay what that would take.
Cons:
-He has a postseason record of just 5-10.
-He only made the Regional finals once, and the preceded to lose 2 consecutive games at home.
Neutral
-Made the NCAA tournament 5 out of 9 season. This isn't bad enough to be listed as a con, but I feel we should be in the post season more than 55% of the time for it to be a pro.
-We seem to be pretty reliant on transfer players. That's not necessarily bad, but it certainly could blow up in any given season.
I think Berry will always keep us respectable in conference play, but I think it would take a lot pieces falling into place for him to lead an Omaha run. I think he's just very average.
