Best coaches

[brewcity77]

Few has zero Final Fours and I think only a couple of Elite Eights. He also has a conference he can dominate, one that rarely includes even 2 other decent teams. And he, like a few others on these lists, inherited a very good situation.

This year was his first Elite Eight. Few is a good coach, but it's tough to really judge because that conference is typically pretty weak. The consistency is still impressive, but he's not on par with coaches that are actually tested all year long.

I will only say that if the legendary Stew Morrill had not retired, all these lists would look quite different.

If you had been asked before the season to name the top 5 coaches in college basketball, how many of you would have had the final 4 coaches in your top 5?    Probably quite a Few. (ha, unfortunate Gonzaga pun)   Maybe Donovan, Wright, Sean Miller, Matta  (chico would have included Crean, of course), but these 4 guys would have been consistently in the top 5.  

 My point?  Good coaching matters.   It is my fervent hope that Wojo can develop.

Last year  (2014) we had Kevin Ollie, second year coach and Bo getting to his first in a long career.

2013 was Gregg Marshall (Wichita State)
2011 was Stevens of Butler and Shaka of VCU
2010 was Stevens of Butler

We had just as many years were a new young hot coach breaks through as we had years were all the tried and true names make the FF.  

Seems to me this comment is merely an emotional reaction to what happened yesterday, not a comment about a recurring trend year-in and year-out.

Should we include Dave Leitao?
