Who is currently the best men's college basketball coach?

Really?  If Marquette had a starting lineup almost entirely made up of NBA lottery picks every year, there are plenty of Scoopers who would expect them to do better than that.   Some of them expect it even without the lottery picks.

You mean me?

Hornets fired their coach today, and the first list of candidates includes none other than ... Jay Wright.

Would he leave Villanova for the Hornets? Not only has Wright, 56, been hugely successful at the college level, but his personality would probably be a better fit in the NBA than many other top college coaches.

It's just one sportswriter throwing spaghetti at the ceiling and seeing what might stick, but still interesting to see it. I do agree that Wright's personality would work very well in the NBA.

Frankly, even if Wright were interested, I doubt Michael would pay enough to lure him to Charlotte to coach a mediocre-at-best NBA franchise with no recent history of success, severe salary-cap issues and a not-especially-attractive landing spot for superstars.

NBA writers in Charlotte? Psh, losers.
