Who do you guys think is the best college coach?I would have to say coach K, roy williams are probaly my top 2 I know there are more great coaches in college but they aren't coming to my mind right now
I would have to agree with you. Coach K is the best college men's basketball coach. He has helped Duke become a powerhouse and they have remained in the top 3 for a couple years now.But if you were talking about college Women's basketball, I would have to say it would have to be Coach Geno Auriemma of the UCONN Huskies. I consider him to be like the Coach K of college women's basketball.
In Mens college basketball, Coach K is the standard for excellence. He is by far the best mens coach right now. I think there are some other good coaches, but they arent as good as Coach K. Here's a list of good college coaches. Billy Donovan-FloridaGary Williams-MarylandJim Boeheim- Syracuse Steve Alford-IowaRick Barnes-TexasJohn Calipari-MemphisRick Pitino-LouisvilleLorenzo Romar-WashingtonBruce Weber-IllinoisTom Izzo-Michigan St.Roy Williams-North CarolinaNow in Womens, i'd have to disagree with bballinyao06 about Gino Auriemma being the top coach. I'd have to go with Pat Summit of Tennesee. Gino is great, but i dont think as good as Summit. He's number 2 in my book.
Definitely Coach K and Roy Williams. I was most impressed with Williams though, alot of his main scoring options left the team to go to the NBA in '05-06, and they still managed to be a threat in the ACC.
al skinner anyone? BC never really had the best team, but they were always up there in the rankings. i believe they were 2nd in the ACC, and they went into UNC and beat them. something like that, im having a hard time remembering right now. they lost to Nova in a great game in the dance, so they were pretty successful last year. this year though will be tough, playing MSU and Kansas nonconference, along with the usually tough ACC schedule. hopefully we can have another good year despite not having the strength that the rest of the top teams have.
Donovan is going to be the next great ting IMO. He's a players coach but until then it's Coach K. He's done it numerous times will all kinds of different players and he's always bringing up another potential championship caliber team.
U of A's coach(omg i cant believe i forgot his name).Look at all the guards that have gone thru him and come out amazing. He's probably the top guard coach in the country.

coach k is not underrated he deserves the respect he getsmy opinion:coach k (duke)roy williams (unc)jim boehein (syracuse)tom izzo (michigan st)bruce webber (illinois)rick pitino (louisville)
How don't you guys not include Ben Howland the coach of the UCLA Bruins?... He took a team of youngsters to the ncaa championship with Farmar leading the way. He did an oustanding coaching job with 9 freshmen on the team.
lol half of you guys including me are biased... like lute olsen, bc coach, cept mine (bruce webber) is actually legit!
Lute Olson: Total Career Record: 1,044-367 (.739)College Career Rec: 761-269 (.740)University of Arizona Record: 569-177 (.763)Accomplishments:* National Championship (97; only team in history to beat 3 #1 seeds en route to title)* 5 Final Fours (80, 88, 94, 97 and 01)* 11 Sweet 16s* 27 tournament appearances (T-1st)* 46 tourny wins (2nd active)* 22 consecutive tourny appearances (longest active streak; 2nd in history)* is one only three coaches in NCAA history to record 28 or more 20-win seasons. His streak of 19 consecutive is the longest active streak in the nation. * Has produced 52 NBA Draft picks, including 31 at Arizona. * Since the NBA Draft was shortened to two rounds in 1989, Arizona leads the nation with 27 total selections. * Has had 13 former players appear in the NBA Finals in the last 11 seasons. In that span, nine former 'Cats have earned world championship rings.* In 48 years of coaching he has had only 6 seasons in which his team did not post a winning % of .600 or better."In Lute we trust" :worthy:
Coach K is a good coach, but every single year he gets one of the best recruiting classes and since 99(I think) he hasn't won a title. With all the talent that comes in there you'd think he'd win a title.Jim Calhoun gets talent and prepares them for the pros. He wins titles also, but look at the players that have came out of UConn. Rip, Ray Ray, Mek, Gordon, etc.
Billy Gillispie is a pretty great coach. He started off as a head coach with UTEP. The first year, they didn't do that well: 6-24. However, the second year they improved to 24-8, one of the best improvements in NCAA Division I history. He then came here to Texas A&M. The year before he came we were 7-21 (0-16 vs. Big 12). His first year we improved to 21-10 and earned an NIT bid. This last year we went 22-9, beat Syracuse and texas, and only lost to LSU by one. I'm biased to some extent, but he's a great coach, and I'm not exactly fond of all A&M coaches.coughFranchionecoughcough.
