UMass Win % after Carvel took over:
1st season - 0.167
2nd season - 0.462
3rd season - 0.756
4th season - 0.647
5th season - 0.759
RPI Win % after Smith took over:
1st season - 0.216
2nd season - 0.319
3rd season - 0.529
It's not realistic for any program to expect to rise as quickly as UMass did and get to 2 FFs and a national championship in the first 5 seasons of a new head coach. However, our program is on the rise too even though we're going at a slower pace. I think we too can win a national championship under DS someday.
The main thing that I notice is how Carvel emphasized the importance of culture in every single interview and how it is THE most important part of a program. Smith says the same thing and emphasizes our culture and values. The priorities are in the right place, just need to keep building step by step.
