ESPN: Top 50 College Hoops Coaches

[CL82]

KO gave huge defensive game plan credit to Glenn Miller, and that's where I disagree with this ranking of individual coaches. Now coaches get some credit for hiring their staff with some inherited from before usually but aren't they the guys that stay up around the clock breaking down tape and always work one on one with the players? The boss soaks up the glory and the salary and 60% of the work is the underlings. Maybe the difference was we has better staff?

Good point. Head coaches get the credit or the blame for a team's success but it's not that simple. Watching Ryan completely take good college players out of the game, I couldn't help but think of Ricky Moore. Part of what makes the UConn staff is that they are all share a Connecticut/Calhoun lineage. I think coming off of the same coaching tree makes them very effective.
