Still not sure how they're going to justify Izzo in the top 4.

Byrd from Belmont could take the talent of the top 5 teams in the nation and make fun of everyone else....by far the best coach in the nation

No doubt. That's why he's got major D-1 programs knocking down his door trying to pry him from little old Belmont....Oh wait.

Hyperbole.

What is your issue with Izzo , UKMF?

 

Not speaking for UKMF but what has Izzo done in the last 5 years to warrant top 4 status? Pitino has been better than Izzo the last 5 years. As has Billy D, Self, hell Shaka Smart has been better than Izzo the last 5 years. That's what this list is supposed to be based on.

If you say Shaka Smart's name in a mirror 3 times, he'll appear. Scientific fact.

Izzo might be my favorite coach in the country. I wanted him to take over when Billy Clyde was fired at Kentucky. This is the Top 50 coaches RIGHT NOW though. If we're looking at it over the last 3-5 seasons, there is absolutely no way he should be ahead of Self, Pitino, etc. That's all I'm saying.

Tom Izzo is one of the best in the business right now. They've won the Big Ten conference 3 of the last 5 years. I hate to cloud things up with facts but last 5 years:

 

- 28-9, Final Four

- 19-15, 2nd round

- 29-8, Sweet 16

- 27-9, Sweet 16

- 29-9, Elite 8

 

132-50 in last 5 seasons

So this list is the last 5 years? I didn't realize that. I still think Izzo is a heck of a good coach though.
