Charles Barkley and the rest of the March Madness studio wonks should be talking about Boyle, the longtime CU Buffs basketball coach, in the same breath as Purdue’s Matt Painter or Maryland’s Mark Turgeon. Straight arrows. Serial winners. Since 1946, CU has produced only 17 seasons in which the men’s basketball program won more than 63% of their games. Boyle’s been at the helm for eight of them. Over the last 75 years, the Buffs have managed just 15 squads that went on to win at least 10 conference tilts in a campaign. Seven of those are Tad teams.
