No. 9: John Beilein, Michigan.
I’m not going to create a new thread because I’m sure there will be one tomorrow, but Terry Henderson, WV transfer, is coming to play for the 76th best coach in the nation and State.
^ Nice. I enjoyed the tie in to the current thread with a little bit of humor. Needed that this morning.
No. 8: Gregg Marshall, Wichita State
I know this is a pipe dream, but I kinda hope this list lights a fire under Gott to evaluate what he thinks he knows about basketball, and make himself a better coach.
Note, I’m not saying he doesn’t know anything about basketball, but everyone can benefit from questioning their knowledge base, and basic assumptions from time to time.
He’s an excellent coach. A notch above anybody we’ve ever had other than the big 3. He may yet do something real big with this group within the next 2 years.
Excellent?
See, to me, “excellent” means Cal, Self, K, etc.
Is he “good”? Absolutely. But “excellent”? Where are the trophies?
CBS reacts to the ESPN list and has done their own top 24:
Cal has got to be one and I’d probably go Donovan two.
No. 7: Bo Ryan, Wiscy
Holy crap, Gott is going to be top 5.
Nah, top 6. No way you can put him above Cal, Donovan, Self, K, Pitino, Izzo…ooops.
No. 6: Bill Self, Kansas
The top 5 will be released next week. Cal, Donovan, K, Izzo, Pitino.
No. 5: Rick Pitino, Louisville
Maybe they’re counting down to 0.
No. 4: Coach K
(Interesting Izzo is over K).
No. 3: Izzo
No. 1: Donovan
No. 2: Calipari
