18-11

10-5

 

No. 10: Kevin Ollie, UConn
No. 9: John Beilein, Michigan
No. 8: Gregg Marshall, Wichita State
No. 7: Bo Ryan, Wisconsin
No. 6: Bill Self, Kansas
No. 5: Rick Pitino, Louisville

Some thoughts: Ollie seems too high. I know the list is right now, but still, he's had one great run. I'd like to see more. Bill Self/Pitino are 6/5, those are some pretty good coaches not at the top.

 

Going through the process of elimination, the top 4 must be Cal, Coach K, Izzo, Billy Donovan at the top.

Beiheim too

3.) Donovan

2.) Izzo

1.) K

I would've thought he would've been higher on the list, but he comes in at #4, no doubt two very early exits took him down here.

Wow - That's surprising. I just think given the flukish nature of the tournament itself, and how good the ACC has been (until now... go B1G!)... that with what K has accomplished keeping Duke as the face of the conference for the past 20 years he'd be the clear cut #1.

Here's the final 3:

 

No. 3: Tom Izzo, Michigan State
No. 2: John Calipari, Kentucky
No. 1: Billy Donovan, Florida

SMU signee Emmanuel Mudiay is likely heading overseas due to amateurism issues, sources told ESPN. Staff was informed last night.

 

Sucks for SMU...He is considered one of the candidates to be the #1 pick in the draft next year.

Was just going to post this..Good call, Chris.

 

Now, smart move, or shady nonsense?

 

Or both.

Both. A lot of these AAU dads are trying to get hired if they guarantee their son a spot (or vice versa).

In this case, it's smarter than most because it's an investment. You get a really good shot at 3 more kids.

Pauley Pavilion flooded by massive UCLA water main break

 

The article has some pretty amazing photos of the building, with several inches of water in the locker rooms and on the court. This is what the break itself looked like:

That sucks. They basically have to redo Pauley Pavilion, which was renovated just several years ago.
