I think most here would prefer Jamie Dixon but it surprises me that some rationalize Reggie Theus over Jamie.
Lets take a look at what he did.when .took over for the esteemed Ben Howland. He actaully made Pittsburgh better.
He was second in the Big East. There is no doubt in my mind that the Big East was the best college basketball conference in the nation this year and they proved it in the NCAA plyaoffs. 7 of its teams made the NCAA could and with the exception of West Virginia six went on to the next round. With Marquettes loss, 5 went to the sweet 16. Four of them made it to the elite 8 where Pitt was beaten, by fellow Big East team VIllanova by 2, and Louisville was beaten. UConn and Villanova were beaten in the final 4. As a conference they were 17-7 (.708) versus the top 64 teams in the USA.
Jamie would bring good solid coaching and new life to USC, and make the rivalry with UCLA very interesting.
