The issue is that records in football and basketball cannot be compared as an apples to apples comparison.  Generally speaking, because there are more games in basketball, there are more opportunities to schedule cupcakes, so you can't take a .250 record in football and apply it to basketball.  My broad heuristic is that generally speaking a "successful" football season is making a bowl game, and a successful basketball season is making the NCAA tournament (or NIT if you are generous).  Haase has made the NIT once in his career at Stanford, and the tournament zero times.

Below that level, I draw little distinction.

Half of football teams make a bowl, and cupcake wins count towards bowl eligibility.

1/6 of basketball teams make the NCAA tournament, and cupcake wins mean next to nothing towards selection.
