Best Coach with no championship

[uconngb]

Not Sean Miller

You get a double like from me

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Randy Edsall

 

[ucp990411]

Coach Dan Hurley.

 

[Horatio]

Huggins, Chaney, Carnesseca

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Mike Rhoades will be the name casual fans will know by March.

Few, Barnes, Painter, Marshall, Beard, McKillop, Randy Bennett.

Speaking of Barnes, what a great job he's been doing recruiting at Tennessee. In the '19 and '20 recruiting season, Tennessee has gotten 4 of their top 9 recruits in 247's database. All of these guys are 6'5 or 6'6 and between 180 and 200.

The 2020-2021 season will look really interesting with those four guys plus a 6'4 Victor Bailey from Oregon and Jordan Bowden/Yves Pons playing their senior year. If everyone sticks around that's six strong guys between 6'3 and 6'6...crazy depth.

 

[SubbaBub]

John Calipari, duh.

 

[the Q]

John Calipari, duh.

has he still not been to a final four...

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Gregg Marshall by a mile.

I think it’s him and Mark Few and then a loooong way to number three.

 

[ChocRaisins]

Few, beiline, Barnes.

Side note, I’ve always rooted for Huggins. The tracksuit, the stool, it just works.

 

[Caronimo]

Randy Edsall

 

[gtcam]

Anyone who say DH with a straight face are out of their minds
He isn't even in the same continent never mind zip code as Few, Marshall, Cronin, Mack, Beilen, Carnesseca, , Barnes, Larranaga, McKillop, Drew Huggins
Not saying he can't be but not even close now or 5 years from now

 

[Mr. French]

Same could be said if Anthony Davis didn't go to Kentucky too

I'm slightly biased but definitely think it's Few as has been mentioned. Dana Altman would be an interesting candidate as well.

I think some people forget this dude only has 1 title. That's so wild.

I really dislike him!

Lots of good answers - I actually hate Sean Miller's coaching less than most, although you can't deny him choking in recent years.

I think resume-wise you look at Few, Marshall and Huggins for sure and then there are guys like Hurley, Beard, Holtmann and Mack that could be on there soon as well. Musselman, Oats and White from FL are also excellent coaches but obviously super early for a few of them.

Gonzaga’s Mark Few
All Time Winning% 82.3 in almost 700 games
He’s never had a losing record. In fact, he only had double-digit losing seasons twice since coaching at Gonzaga in 1999. Consistently in top 10 every year, and well deserved.

Gonzaga is a poor mans Uconn. It'd be nice to see them win one. I though last year was going to be the year but nope.

 

[AdamaNation]

At one time, before 1999 is was Jim Calhoun.

Who is it now?

Calipari?


get it

 

[QuickDraw]

Few followed closely by Marshall for active coaches & Lou Carnesseca for former coaches

 

[Zissou]

Few

Wait... I thought we were poor (kidding, kinda sorta). I think they’ll get one in the next 5 years unless Hurley has something to say about it

 

[GemParty]

I’ll say Few, Huggins, Barnes.

 

[ZenConn]

I'd say Few, Barnes, Miller and I'd have to throw in Mike Brey into the mix as well.

I know Melo won them a championship, but when has the picker ever been in a "best coach" conversation? Or a best anything conversation for that matter.

Probably being facetious, but I know 2003 was billed as a face-off between the two best coaches without a title.

And Few is the correct answer.

Boeheim's a d/bag and an a/hole, but he's also a very good coach.
