This article that focused on the average tenure of college basketball coaches ran a couple of weeks ago.
ACC coaches have an average tenure of 7.6 seasons at their respective schools, the most of any of the major conferences. Three have held the same job for 10 or more years –Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski (27), Maryland’s Gary Williams (18) and Boston College’s Al Skinner (10 seasons).
Worth noting…the only current coaches who have been at their current school for ten years or more:
Al Skinner, Boston College: 10 seasons
Mike Krzyzewski, Duke: 27 seasons
Gary Williams, Maryland: 18 seasons
Jim Calhoun, Connecticut: 21 seasons
Jim Boeheim, Syracuse: 31 seasons
Tom Izzo, Michigan State: 12 seasons
Lute Olson, Arizona: 24 seasons
Ben Braun, Cal: 11 seasons
Ernie Kent, Oregon: 10 seasons
Billy Donovan, Florida: 11 seasons
John Brady, LSU: 10 seasons
A lot of interesting nuggets in it. I don’t have time to do a lot of blogging on what I see, so please share your thoughts in the comments section.
