That's the most bizarre and arbitrary list I've seen in quite some time.

I love reading the Top X amount of college bball coaches. Every message board debates it at one time or another. But that's gotta be the worst one I've ever seen. It really makes no sense.

And Greg Marshall isn't on there? According to the Winthrop folks, he's the best thing to walk this planet since Jesus.

I realize I'm a big Duke nut but any top-20 list without Coach K is just wrong.

I guess "Power Rankings" is about as vague as you can get. Having left off coaches that are already in the HOF, you've got to assume that "What have you done for me lately" plays a big factor on this list.

I think they are looking more at the present than the past; more of a "who is the hottest coach now" type thing (hence the Stock Value they use). Obviously, Coach K is a HOF coach & he has had a great career. It could be argued that since 2002, he hasn't been up to his standards reaching...one Final Four since his last championship. At least, that's what I think the list means.

If Tim Floyd is on the list, then it just proves that there are 300+ idiots at the helm of a Division I team.

Coach K is the most overrated coach ever. That list is great! I have no problems.

So Tony Bennett, not the singer, the head coach of Washington State is better than 3 HOF coaches (that I can think of off the top of my head) that are not on this list?

if you are talking about Uconn, Syracuse, and Duke.......look at the last season. All overrated, and had more talent than almost all the coaches in this survey....it's just based on last season


And yes.....Uconn was way overrated

ummm.....Duke was overrated last season.....I don't think I ever mentioned Coach K being overrated though Smooth. Boy you are having some senior moments


*Disclaimer* If you (Smooth) were posting towards Kel's post (Coach K is the most overrated coach ever), then I take it back Smooth :D

Dickens is starting to offer up disclaimers....boy we've softened him up!



If this is a "what have you done for me lately" type poll...how many of these 20 teams will be in the top 20 come Feb/Mar?
