No matter who he loses to graduation (or, in this current era, the portal), Rice reloads his squad and wins 20-plus games. One of the two he didn’t was in the COVID-shortened season in 2020-21, when Boise State finished 19-9. But Leon Rice has still been the model of (positive) consistency at Boise State, posting 11 20-win seasons in 13 seasons. Has Boise State struggled in the NCAA Tournament? Yes. Yes, they did lose four consecutive to close the season, but Alford is still one of the best coaches in the conference with a deep track record of success. Steve Alford has had an up-and-down four-year stint with the Wolf Pack, but is coming off a season where they won 22 games after losing their three best players to the transfer portal, including seven Quad 1 and 2 teams. They did slip up in-conference, but Pitino’s put together very formidable squads and should have another quality season in 2023-24. Pitino struggled in his inaugural 2021-22 season with the Lobos, but has recruited his tail off-in the portal and with his freshman classes-forming one of the most explosive offenses in the Mountain West that led to New Mexico’s first 20-win campaign in nearly a decade. This program was in near purgatory after two mediocre stints from Craig Neil and Paul Weir. This might draw some controversy, but I’m admittedly very high on Richard Pitino. Miles has had success at his previous stops, but perhaps his biggest test since joining SJSU will come this upcoming season without reigning Mountain West Player of the Year Omari Moore. San Jose State was projected to be one of the worst teams in the Mountain West and it climbed all the way to a top-5 seed by the end of the 2022-23 regular season. Medved was a tough cut, but Miles deserves to be on this list after rightfully winning the conference’s coach of the year award last year. Honorable mentions: Niko Medved, Colorado State Kevin Kruger, UNLV Jeff Linder, Wyoming Joe Scott, Air Force 5. Like the new football building he is pushing for.We are roughly two months away from the start of the 2023-24 Mountain West basketball men’s basketball season! There are 11 coaches in the conference, but today, we’re going to rank the five best heading into the new season (prioritizing their production in conference). The bottom line is Riley gets whatever he wants. So how often did he make that grueling five-minute walk? If he has a driver, doesn’t he drop Riley off in front of the McKay Center. Riley also talks about how he has a driver. I’m either wasting that time where I could be with my family or I could be doing something to help us win.’ And he’s like, ‘All right, well, when you put it that way, it makes some sense.’ So now, my walk is like 15 seconds, so we improved the math there.” That’s over 50 hours a year that I’m simply just walking back and forth to my car, not to mention if you go back multiple times in a day for whatever. Riley: “That’s 10 minutes a day (to and from the car). I’ve written before about how Lincoln Riley has a personal driver.īut in this excerpt of his interview with Graham Bensinger, he talked about how he didn’t like his parking spot at USC, because it was five minutes from the McKay Center.
