It is a different situation with Huff vs Dan. There is no need to rate Dan.

Huff has been mentioned as a candidate for other coaching jobs. Dan has never been mentioned as a candidate for other coaching jobs. No one is interested in hiring Dan. It is a fairly simple situation.

The point is, there are many who seem to view him as overrated.

He has zero national relevance.  He is unrated, not overrated.  Overrated means he doesn't live up to the hype.  Where is the hype for D'antoni?  We have local opinion of him that is polarized by the haters and the sycophants.  Some believe he can do no wrong as he himself does and others believe he will never put the effort in to change the culture of MBB.  But that doesn't rate a national story on his accomplishments to determine if he is what people contend he is worth.  He has basically 2 accomplishments in 10 years.  A conference tourney win and an NCAA tourney win.  That's it.  I'm not including the pay to play tourney win as we desperately underachieved that year with the team we had returning because Dan didn't have the foresight to recruit and develop a second big man. 

Overrated is like a coach that won 3-4 championships with someone else's recruits and then lost with his own guys or like Sanders (Prime) that had success at a lower level and was highly regarded but didn't pan out in the bigtime.  The term doesn't apply to D'antoni.  You could say that an NBA assistant is overrated as a college head coach.  We know for dang sure that is applicable.

What do you call "done deal" Chuck? Landon is Dan's pimp. lol

Basketball is a train wreck and we need to deal with it right now. Dan needs to be fired since he has MU MB in the bottom third of all D1 programs. The basketball program will only get worse if Dan comes back for the next season.

 We can handle football at the end of the season if we don't do well in the SBC. Huff's contract ends next season and we can just let him go at that time if he doesn't challenge for the SBC title. One thing at a time. JMO.

When was the last time Marshall men's Basketball team won a Conference Championship?

Last Regular season championship was a 1988 Southern Conference title. We won a North Division Southern Conference title either in 1996 or 1997.

Don't you have to be rated before you can be overrated?
