Best Coaches in College Basketball

I don't see how you put K up that high. Sure he has a great record, but he's not that good of a bench coach. JC whupped him almost every time they played. He's a great recruiter, but Duke (the school) has much more to do with that than K, I think. Look. He's had the #1 recruiting class in 4 of the last 5 years. Where are his championships? Not saying he shouldn't be on the list, but much farther down.

Surprised at all the disrespect K is getting. Feels like the Geno thread almost.

Bohemia has been a very consistent winner during his career. He has been very consistent in making the NCAAs, but he only had 4 Final 8s in his first 35 years of coaching at Syracuse. Although he hasn't been posting great regular season win totals in recent years (and he hasn't won his conference tournament in 13 years), he has made 3 Final 8s in the last 7 years including 2 Final 4s.

I think Boeheim's junk defense works better nowadays because the overall experienced talent level is not as good as in years past. Guys who don't know what they're doing struggle with the zone.

Let's see what K and Calipari can do with just 2,3, and 4 star players. But they'll never have to. It's kinda like being a chef. Anyone can take a beautifully marbled prime steak and cook it a number of ways to be delicious. Then try doing that with road kill.

We saw what happened with road kill. A steady diet of 20 plus point losses.
