Wow. Tubby not even in "others considered".

 

That's what makes the list kinda questionable. How can you be a two time Coach of The Year in the past 10 years and yet still not be under the "Those not listed"

 

Seems like Tubby may've gotten the shaft yet again.

One word, parody! He has to recruit the same caliber of kids that he faces every night, the key is that he wins with the ones he lands and his non conference schedule has to be one of the tougher ones in the country that way he can get on TV baby.

 

 

I assume you meant "parity"?

John Thompson III should have been in the top 10.

Umm.. he had Adam Morrison. You think Morrison would've gone to any other WAC school?

 

They do play a few tough teams, but here's a selection of their non conference foes:

 

Eastern Washington

Rice

Baylor

Texas San Antonio

Idaho

Portland State

 

 

He's a good coach, but you simply cannot compare his winning percentage or number of wins against coaches from quality conferences.

But John Beilien was though, wasn't he?

Bogus list if you ask me...

Put him at Arkansas and he beats UK, LSU, and Vandy.

He was a missed layup away from the Elite 8 this year, coaching a school that had exactly THREE NCAA Tourney wins before his arrival.

 

 

I just don't think he should be above Self at Kansas and Jim B at syacuse.

^ Sorry....no, not yet...but IMO Rupp would be last of those...he coached in a completely different era.

He coached in a different era but what difference does that make? You could argue that Wooden be ahead of Rupp but that would be about it. Rupp has more titles than Knight, Smith and Coach K. Also Rupp's winning percentage is higher than any coach in NCAA history that has 500 or more wins with a winning percentage of .822 for his career. Even if someone is a UK hater they cannot deny Rupp to be in the top two at least unless they are blinded by their hatred of UK basketball.

FWIW Gillispie beat Self this year.

Ok he beat him this year. Dean Smith had a winning record against Rupp, but I would bet you think Rupp is the better coach. Billy has been a head coach in the college ranks for 4-5 years and I just don't think he is a top 10 coach. Is he an up and comer? Yes, Will he be a top 10 coach? Who knows. These list are a bunch of BS anyway.

IMO the ONLY REASON why Adolph Rupp isnt thought of higher is because of so many analysts being irresponsible and just writing him off as a racist. Its a sad situation.

He probably would have had atleast 1 more title as well. UK was not allowed to play in 1952-53 season and had an outstanding team. The next season they went undefeated, but because of bogus eligibility rules Frank Ramsey and Cliff Hagan were not eligible.

I just don't think he should be above Self at Kansas and Jim B at syacuse.

 

IMO, Bill Self is nowhwere near the top 10 coaches in the country.

Until Self gets to a final four I have to disagree.

Until Self gets to a final four I have to disagree.

So you think when he does get to the final four, he won't be as good of a coach anymore?
