Interesting article here. It argues (not unfairly) that Izzo is the "best NCAA tournament coach by far." I'd disagree due to titles. But when taking starting seeds into consideration, he does go further, on average, than anyone else.
Calhoun is--no surprise--among the best. KO also appears on this list, higher than luminaries such as Roy Williams, Dean Smith, and Coach K.
Don't be confused by the titles, since it starts in 1985, and therefore cuts off some of the titles by older coaches.
