I can't really argue his picks except for BEST SINGLE-SEASON TEAM: Saint Joe's, 2004......I'd probably go with Illinois 2005.

We certainly didn't stand in the way of St. Joes that year.

I gotta give coach of the decade to Tom Izzo. *I think* every player that played for him that played all 4 years in the decade played in a final four.

I could see an argument for Izzo. I guess it depends on what criteria you are using.

Roy - 5 FF ('02, '03, '05, '08, '09), 2 Titles, 33 tourney wins, 289 total wins
Izzo - 4 FF (2000, '01, '05, '09), 1 Title, 25 tourney wins, 248 total wins

No and ill never forget watching Jameer Nelson warmup in Buffalo for that game ( after losing a game in the previous week) he literally probably shot 30 three-pointers in practice i think think missed about two....unreal.
