Dan Hurly - Top 8 Coach in the Country

[M.S.G.]

Tier 1 seems fair enough, though I think Izzo is close to washed.

Cooley doesn't belong on this list.

Big East has the best coaches in the country. Makes for really fun, high-level basketball.

While I did agree with Izzo’s rant about the portal, NIL, entitlement - he just finds a way to stay relevant, their SG reminds me of Ben Gordon, very fun to watch

Not a Calipari fan, but he's a tier 1 coach as much as any of those other names.

You're joking right? He doesn't belong anywhere near the 1st tier. All the talent that came through Kentucky and only 1 championship to show for it. He has massively underperformed.

Come on how do you spell Hurley wrong? This place makes spelling look like calculus

I was going to say, maybe we should hire that guy.

Hard to argue much with the list. Even the Tier two list is ok, even though some of those guys are close to T1 and some are close to T3.

#7 on this list. From unranked last year. Funny what a national championship can do to change perceptions.

7. Dan Hurley, UConn​

Hurley failed to make the list last season as he entered Year 5 at UConn without a single NCAA Tournament victory. Now, he is entering Year 6 as the reigning national championship-winning coach. Hurley assembled a deep, well-rounded team that steamrolled through March Madness with six consecutive double-digit victories. At 50 and with seemingly boundless amounts of energy, he is poised to be a star of the coaching profession for years to come. (Not ranked)

Top tier shouldn't lose to Pace.

Top tier shouldn't lose to Pace.

You could say he's on pace to drop a tier or two

Cal is obviously a tier 1 college coach. Recruiting is a huge part of being a college coach, and he’s arguably the best at that,

 

[Matias]

Aren‘t we jumping the gun putting DH in T1 before he‘s even had a chance to prove he can win close games?

The Big East is the best coached conference

Too bad Jay Wright retired

 

[twiceahusky]

Your knot wrong.

It should have been ”rong”. This is gonna bug me all day …

Pitino deserves his own Tier!!

I'm still surprised he retired. I felt like when coach K retired the throne of "Best Coach" in the game was sitting there and Jay Wright was going to wear that crown for several more years. Now I'm not sure there is a runaway candidate.

Yes I’m looking to see if Hans Springfield has commented about that.
