Even with really good players, beating KU 2 out of 3 times - much less blowing them out 2 out of 3 times - was hardly a given. I don't know if he can recruit well, but he clearly has the respect of the team and leads and prepares them well for gameday.
Fresno State before him had 1 winning season in 6 years, only 1 winning conference record in 7 seasons, and hadn't made the NCAA tournament in over a decade. He definitely left it in far better shape than he found it even though he didn't turn them into any sort of mid-major powerhouse.
