Until someone matches Coach K in titles..he will be the current top dog coach.

Looking at the body of work though, Duke is still regularly contending for ACC regular season titles (a title I don't believe is actually counted) and tourney titles. They have struggled in the postseason though. |

The final 4 is a crapshoot in a one and done format, but getting there that much is an incredible feat in modern basketball. | |

The McRoberts and Paulus class put a hurt on 'em. Everyone is going to experience some recruiting busts and it takes a bit of time to overcome them. Even at that, however, they've still never been very far removed from the NC discussion.
Guess I want to draw a very clear distinction between the disaster that Fulmer has become and the struggles of K. | |

I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth. | |

| however TennNC the thread needs no clarity. If I could pull all those coaches to be on my team, the question is who would be the head coach. Who has enough of all the traits you broke down to be considered the best? | |

But I also don't think that one Final Four appearance in 7 seasons makes K the best coach right now. | |
