Musselman has definitely been better in the tourney the past few years, but his ceiling has been the Elite Eight. Calipari has been to the Final Four 5 different times (1 at UMass, 1 at Memphis, and 3 at Kentucky) making it to the natty twice and winning it once. Yes, those times are a bit removed now, but he's shown that as his ceiling while Musselman has not to this point. He's also outperformed Musselman during the regular season 4 of the past 5 years in the same conference as WT pointed out above. One might argue that there's been a bit of bad luck for Cal in the tourney in recent years.
