Not even close. Pitino is a bottom tier coach in the Big Ten.The 2017 BIG TEN COACH OF THE YEAR would, yes, be in the same general category as Holtmann.

This guy is going to have more wins than Izzo and Painter? Really? Wow, not a call I would make.
I can't disagree about the OSU resource strength. I guess I am not that impressed with Holtman yet. Without KBD, last year his team was not impressive. However, the guy should have his chance to prove his capabilities, with his own recruits.From about 2006 to about 2012, the height of the Thad Matta era, the road to the Big Ten title ran through Columbus. When that program has a guy who can both recruit and draw up plays at an elite level, combined with the institutional advantages they have (football money and being undisputed alpha dog in a state full of talent), they've got a machine with more horsepower than anyone else can match. Holtmann has the X's and O's, and if you look at the class he's bringing in as freshmen next year, it's pretty clear he can freaking recruit, too. If Thad didn't have his health problems he'd have won at least one and probably multiple national championships. Holtmann will have them back at that level.
