Of the top of my head:

Coach K
Roy Williams
Billy Donovan
Jim Calhoun
Tom Izzo
John Calipari
Ben Howland
Title: Re: Name Five Current D-1 Coaches...
Post by: Pett on December 14, 2008, 12:37:56 PM
Callipari
Kreweski
Williams
Calhoun
Pitino

I could go on. This was a very easy list to make FWIW. Like I didn't have to look at anything, these were off the top of my head (see the spelling.)

Donovan was in the NIT last year.  Roy's team lost to Self's team by 18 points in the Final Four last year.  Calipari's team lost to Self's team in the Nat'l Championship last year.  Howland and Calipari have never won a Nat'l Championship.  Coach K?  Talk about SNOWCOAT.  Pitino?  LMAO... they just lost to Western Kentucy by 14 points.  Tom Izzo?  Michigan State just lost to Maryland by 18 and UNC by 35.

Post by: FHSU92 on December 14, 2008, 01:19:19 PM
By coach do you mean recruiter or X'z & O'z.  Seff good/great recruiter & avg game/X'z & O'z guy.

After this year, will Seff be thought of the same?

I guess one way to look at is, if you let FMart coach last year's ukjr roster, would they have done as well or better?  In other words, is it coaching or talent?  Most cases, talent >>>> coaching.  Throw the ball out and let the talent eat up well coached kids.  George Mason in the F4 was one of a few exceptions to the rule. 

Any coach with a team that finished in the top 30 the past few years could have lead ukjr's roster to a NC (maybe even b2b with JWright's crew).

I'd put Gary Williams & Bobby Knight up there as two of the best "coaches".  They rarely had a bench full of talent, yet put competitive teams on the court.  I think GW is one of the few (if only) coaches to win a NC without a McDAA, since the McDAA game/process has been in existence.

Post by: WilliamTheWildcat on December 14, 2008, 01:34:46 PM
He's a pretty good coach.  If anything, last season shows that it takes some serious good fortune to win it all.  Does Self make me think he's a great X's and O's guy like CoC's former coach John Kresse?  No.  He's a recruiter to the max though. I think his play design at the end of the game yesterday was pretty weak. It may have worked last April, but that was an answered prayer.  I recall the same play in the aTm game at AFH two years ago, only it went to Collins instead of Chalmers. It failed in that game too.

I guess the real question here is:  Why do you care what we think about Self?

Donovan was in the NIT last year.  Roy's team lost to Self's team by 18 points in the Final Four last year.  Calipari's team lost to Self's team in the Nat'l Championship last year.  Howland and Calipari have never won a Nat'l Championship.  Coach K?  Talk about SNOWCOAT.  Pitino?  LMAO... they just lost to Western Kentucy by 14 points.  Tom Izzo?  Michigan State just lost to Maryland by 18 and UNC by 35.  


 :thumbsup:


this argument is terrible. you can't reference individual games that's idiotic and closed-minded. i don't care if you think self is in the top 5 but if you say he's a better coach than roy williams simply b/c he beat him last year, well that's just stupid. in my book the top 5 in no order are:

Roy/ Krzyzewski/ Pitino/ Calhoun/ Boeheim

These guys win with and without talent, something i'm not so sure if guys like cal or self could do.
Title: Re: Name Five Current D-1 Coaches...
Post by: BMWJhawk on December 14, 2008, 02:20:19 PM
I'll summarize:

Donovan - NIT last season
Boeheim - NIT last season
Howland - never won a Nat'l title
Calipari - never won a Nat'l title
Williams - great coach, team lost to ku by 18 points in '08 Final Four
Coach K - great coach, probably the best in the country (loves himself some SNOWCOAT)
Calhoun - hasn't done much recently with all that talent
Izzo - has had some pretty "meh" teams lately
Matta - NIT last season



Bottom line... every coach has flaws.  Every coach has had teams that struggled.  Every coach has had teams that have been upset by a lesser team.  K-State fans hold Bill Self to an impossibly high standard so when he fails you can act like the man can't coach.  Just take a look at that list and you will understand how difficult it is to consistently compete for championships.  Florida lost all five starters last season and look what happened.

Izzo - has had some pretty "meh" teams lately
Matta - NIT last season



Bottom line... every coach has flaws.  Every coach has had teams that struggled.  Every coach has had teams that have been upset by a lesser team.  K-State fans hold Bill Self to an impossibly high standard so when he fails you can act like the man can't coach.  Just take a look at that list and you will understand how difficult it is to consistently compete for championships.  Florida lost all five starters last season and look what happened.  

why even start threads that you'll end up conceding?

I'll summarize:

Donovan - NIT last season
Boeheim - NIT last season
Howland - never won a Nat'l title
Calipari - never won a Nat'l title
Williams - great coach, team lost to ku by 18 points in '08 Final Four
Coach K - great coach, probably the best in the country (loves himself some SNOWCOAT)
Calhoun - hasn't done much recently with all that talent
Izzo - has had some pretty "meh" teams lately
Matta - NIT last season



Bottom line... every coach has flaws.  Every coach has had teams that struggled.  Every coach has had teams that have been upset by a lesser team.  K-State fans hold Bill Self to an impossibly high standard so when he fails you can act like the man can't coach.  Just take a look at that list and you will understand how difficult it is to consistently compete for championships.  Florida lost all five starters last season and look what happened.  

so are you saying BS is among that mess of coaches or maybe even below them? do we have to bring up the first round games again?

I simply pointed out that Syracuse has been to the NIT two years in a row now.  Never said they were an NIT team this season.  Do you even watch college basketball?   

so why base the last two seasons on BS being better than JB if i can't use this year's meeting?  do you even watch college basketball?  prbly too busy in your 'rec league'.


Look, the point is that Boeheim has been to the NIT two straight years.  If that were the case for Bill Self, this wouldn't even be a discussion.  As for the head-to-head, I don't think that this year's game decisively gives Boeheim the edge.  Syracuse came back from 14 points down to send the game to overtime.  Considering that Syracuse returned multiple starters from last year and is the more experienced team, while ku replaced five starters and brought back 4 scholarship players from last year, I'd give the edge to Self.  JMO.

Donovan was in the NIT last year.  Roy's team lost to Self's team by 18 points in the Final Four last year.  Calipari's team lost to Self's team in the Nat'l Championship last year.  Howland and Calipari have never won a Nat'l Championship.  Coach K?  Talk about SNOWCOAT.  Pitino?  LMAO... they just lost to Western Kentucy by 14 points.  Tom Izzo?  Michigan State just lost to Maryland by 18 and UNC by 35.  


 :thumbsup:


this argument is terrible. you can't reference individual games that's idiotic and closed-minded. i don't care if you think self is in the top 5 but if you say he's a better coach than roy williams simply b/c he beat him last year, well that's just stupid. in my book the top 5 in no order are:

Roy/ Krzyzewski/ Pitino/ Calhoun/ Boeheim

These guys win with and without talent, something i'm not so sure if guys like cal or self could do.



Are you kidding me?  K-State fans were trashing Self yesterday after losing an "individual game."  Do you even realize that Self coached at Oral Roberts, Tulsa, and Illinois before arriving at ku?  His Tulsa team went to the Elite Eight in 2000.  They didn't have any McD AA's.  If anyone can't win without talent, it'd be Roy.

so if ku comes back from 14 pts. down yesterday to tie the game and send if to OT i could give the edge to derek kellogg as the better coach?  reminds me of gary patterson saying they were better than Utah for 59 minutes.  but, but i thought ku didn't rebuild, they just reloaded  :confused:.

Boeheim had three McD AA's last year: Donte Green, Johnny Flynn, and Eric Devendorf.  ku had one more McD AA with Collins, Arthur, Aldrich, and Chalmers.  Both teams have the same amount this year (Flynn, Devendorf and Aldrich, Collins)
