The Big East is a brutally tough league: everyone knows that. Providence has not risen into the top crust of the Beast, and for that reason are not considered an elite program. However, in his stay at Fairfield, his win total increased each year, topping out at 23 and 25, before he got the Providence job. At Providence four out of the seven seasons have been 20 wins, and he has been to the NCAA Tournament four times. So far this season the Friars have 18 wins.
No, Cooley may not be an elite coach - yet - but he is a very good one.
