Knight is a curious case. I don’t put him top 10 but others might. He was very good and won championships with good talent he got to play great. But the last part of his career was more about histrionics than great basketball. I thought the game changed but he didn’t keep up.

Boeheim is a very good coach who lasted a long time. Not top 10 in my book though.

Don’t think he is top 10 but I would look at someone like Frank McGuire who won the NIT at St John’s when it was more prestigious and built UNC into a major power.

Roy is a great coach. He belongs.  Same with Dean Smith. I think Wooden is #1 unquestionably. And unquestionably Iba. When Red Auerbach talks about how much he learned from you you kind of belong.

I’d put Phogg Allen there because he basically invented the job.

Calipari? Uh no! Pitino is another question. He is a terrific coach. Thought his best job was the year he brought a very eh PC team to the Final Four. But the slime is just too great and he had a title taken away for cheating. Gotta keep you off the list.

And really how you can not include Jay Wright is beyond me. Probably because he isn’t “colorful”. He just wins.
