Musketeer Madness

...but I'm guessing his #5 and #13 choices will ruffle some feathers on this board.

Odd to have two coaches who haven't won championships ranked higher then one that's won three.
I guess that winning NCAA championships wasn't a big factor with this guy (Sorry Bo, DIII doesn't apply)
I'd say the real proving point this year would be if old Roy can win with his NBA team.

Unfortunately, I think you have to move ol' Beaknose a little higher on your list. Considering the remarkable amount of success he has had in a very short time span, with 3 different teams, warrants at least top 10 consideration.

It is amazing what illusion versus reality has to play in this list.

My Top Ten:
1. Sean Miller
2. Ron Williams
3. Ben Howland
4. Jim Calhoun
5. Rick Barnes
6. Billy Donovan
7. John Capalari
8. MK
9. Bill Self
10. Phil Martelli

Who's this "Ron" Williams fella? Or "Capalari"?

I'm a bigger fan of Roy Williams and John Calipari, but that's just me.

What was amazing with the original list was the guy was a Tennessee Fan and B Pearl was not on his list. No Gary not Bob Pearl!

Picky Picky ....

OK, Corrected Top Ten

My Top Ten:
1. Sean Miller

My Top 10

3. Rick Pitino
4. Jim Boeheim
5. Lute Olson
6. Ben Howland
7. Bob Huggins
8. Tom Izzo
9. Bo Ryan
10. John Calipari


Honorable Mention
Gary Williams
Billy Donovan
Bill Self

CONFUSED

Bob Huggins before Gary Williams?

The same Gary Williams that has 12 NCAA Tournament berths in the last 14 seasons, seven Sweet Sixteen appearances, a pair of consecutive Final Four showings, and the 2002 national championship. And he did it starting with a troubled program. With 585 career victories in 29 seasons overall, Williams is the seventh-winningest active head coach in NCAA Division I men's basketball. A winner of nearly 70 percent of his NCAA Tournament games while at Maryland, he ranks ninth among active coaches in NCAA Tournament winning percentage overall (27-14, .658), and ninth in wins (27).

Maybe you like Bob in "the suit"
