    I have got to go with my man Coach K, he is a winner and a great recruiter. He is followed by Roy Williams I love his style of basketball and he is always in the mix come March.

    Hi, My name is CParso. I'll go with John Brady. Coach K and Rick Patino are way overrated, imo....



    btw, did I mention Nick Saban was a "good" coach, not really a "great" coach?:hihi:

    As far as pure coaching, got to go with Coach K at the top, followed by Tom Izzo.

    As far as the up-tempo/pressing and trapping teams, I like Roy Williams, Rick Pitino, Billy Donavan.

    Also not coaching today, but John Thompson at Georgetown was a great coach as well.

    I had the chance to meet both Coach Thompsons on a trip i took up to D.C. for a recruiting trip at Georgetown. Both guys are pretty cool and they both know a great deal about the game. I enjoyed the time I spent while i was around them....but :geauxtige ...i'm a tiger at heart baby

    Roy WIlliams is the best recruiter in college basketball...

    What other coach could build a decent team after losing his top 7 scorers from a title team?

    Just wait until he gets his 5, 5 star studs in there next year... They will be something to see...

    A close 2nd is Rick Pitino, because the man just wins everywhere he goes, and #3 is Coach K...

    The margin between these three men are SO close though

    Excellent answer, Tirk.

    Eddie Sutton has to be at least in the top three.

    Coach K and Izzo. Not even close, IMO. My personal favorite being Pitino.
