Time to put up or shut up...

Season one - Robinson inherited 4 starters and about 75-80% of the scoring and rebounding from the previous coach’s final team. His team was 13/17 at the end of the Pac 12 tourney, but since he was Obama's BIL he was given the gift of entry into the CBI - worst record team to ever get in. Tinkle inherited 0 starters and about 18-20 points and a few rebounds a game from Robinson’s final team. Look it up. They were picked to be last in the conference by everyone, yet finished 8/10 in conference and 17/14 overall. They actually turned down the CBI because the team was worn down.

Season 2 - GP2 was a great player.  Tres’ last 5 or so healthy games he outscored Payton. For the season, per 40 minutes of play, he outscored Payton. Look it up. Stevie was a true freshman, Eubanks was a true freshman that had only been playing basketball since the 9th or 10th grade (10th, I think?). Tres was missed, he may or may not have made a difference but the team’s makeup was altered.

Season 3. Thompson missed the first 6 games, Tinkle only played the first 6 games. Thompson played a good half the season kinda gimpy. They had no Robinson holdovers except one injured player that played a few minutes of a few games. (Robinson had holdovers from the previous coach for at least 3 years). The team sucked, but it relied mostly on players with just 1 year of experience and a bunch of freshmen. There should have been another year or two worth of experienced Robinson recruits, but there were none.

Season 4 - A 50/50 season record, 10th in the Pac 12. Not great, but considering the previous season not all that horrible. A big jump up, next year was even better.

The season after the Elite 8 was all on Tinkle. Bad bad season.  Last year was better but not a good year, about as expected with a mostly new and young group of players.  This year has yet to play out. Tinkle has put up most of the best years in the last 32 seasons, and 2 of the very worst (one of which the fault lays squarely on his shoulders).  Unlike every other OSU coach in that 32 year span, and a lot of coaches in general, he has never followed up a down year with an even worse year, not yet anyways.

At some point he’ll be gone. I’ll wait to see how this year goes. Needs to make headway with this young team.

Two and both in the last five years.  Tinkle went 14-10 against Pac-12 competition in 2020-21 and 16-10 against Power Six competition.

Lying with semantics.

The sum of its parts has been greater than an antiseptic 30,000-foot view of the whole.

Tinkle's median season is one that is .500+.

You are obfuscating by pointing to numbers that are skewed by wretched seasons.   On the whole Tinkle has more good seasons than bad seasons.  But three wretched seasons wash out what has been a generally great tenure.

You are arguing popular vote, when Tinkle has clearly been crushing the electoral college.

You are making a straw man's argument.  I just disagree.

Actual seasons count. He was the HC, the recruiter, and responsible for the entire roster and results. No matter what you call "median" using an overall record with a SOS in the mid 200's. Of course let's talk to the schedule that counts... conference. Is that .500+

PS- your knowledge of stats must be very limited in thinking that median is a meaningful description of 10 data points. But, then again, informant bias is one of your calling cards.

58-110... soon to fall below 52 games under .500. Can't wait for the next set of bias reasoning.

58-110 isn't an average. It's the factual, unbiased actual conference record.
