Sampson has to be up there. Has his team on the verge of another final 4 with a completely different starting 5 from last year after losing his best player earlier in the season.
2 best players probably!Sampson has to be up there. Has his team on the verge of another final 4 with a completely different starting 5 from last year after losing his best player earlier in the season.
It’s a good list. I’d add Oats.I think Jay Wright is the best overall coach in the game right now. If I’m picking who I’d want to lead UConn other than him, here are some: Kelvin Sampson, Rick Pitino, Musselman, Few, Self, Bennett, Drew, Cronin, Beard, Pearl.
I like Oats too, especially had you asked me last season. His style just scares me a little bit. I’m not necessarily saying this is the case, but sometimes it seems like coaches who have a certain style get away from recruiting to that specific style. Oats is now going after big time 5 star, athletic players who don’t necessarily shoot it very well. There’s pressure on these guys to recruit that way, Shaka was kind of like that too at Texas. Need to see a little more from Oats before I put him in that group. I want to believe that Hurley can get into that group, but he’s basically ten years in at bigger programs and still hasn’t made a second weekend. That’s a little concerning.It’s a good list.

But you know what? Hurley can be as good or better than most of them. He does something’s better than some of those coaches already. I want to believe with his devotion and work ethic he will do even more.
It took jc time to make that shift too. From running the press with athletes to 4 and 5 stars . I think oats will be a force over next 10 years at Bama.I like Oats too, especially had you asked me last season. His style just scares me a little bit.

Yes forgot about the latest inducted class. I would add that Tony Bennett is also a lock.Jay Wright is in the Hall of Fame.
facts, the AAC is still a mid- major imoWhat Kelvin Sampson has done at Houston over the past 5 plus years is amazing being they are AAC. He is in top 2 or 3 with Jay Wright. Maybe McDermott is with them. I like Bob McKillop in the top 10
