Geez have we seen this narrative before or what? After a couple of inexplicable losses and looking terrible in early conference action, Cuonzo's squad gets hot in February to win 4 in a row.
It is still a mysterious MO for this guy. Lose enough bad games early that you can never recover, get hot late in the season to convince people next year will be different despite the early NIT loss, and then, next year...same ole thing all over again.
He got us to the Sweet 16. I think he can do the same with Cal within 3 or 4 years. He's not a great coach. He is a decent coach.
Current problem is he's going after all these 5 star guys and if he doesn't land them he has no back up plan
