Very interesting considering Tyndall was able to bring in 8 players in such a short time at Tennessee

Its because they know the results of most of the listed coaches. Buzz Williams back to back elite eights, Bruce Pearl putting a not-so-traditional Tennessee basketball program on the map, and Cuonzo comigg off a sweet 16 run. What has Tyndall done to prove otherwise? Oh thats right second round NCAA. Probably why he got the votes he did.

Not sure how steve wojo got more votes tho... He hasnt proven squat

Wojo played at Duke and was an assistant under Coach K for 15 years.

Tyndall came from where? I'd bet more people recognize Woko as compared to Tyndall and it has nothing to do with results as a coach.

What type of players? S.E.C. caliber players or were they players who were on Southern Miss's radar and when Donnie moved up to Tennessee he brought them along?

I do not give a damn about what the coaches think. They didn't have to endure the product the previously coach put on the floor.

You mean the product that won more games than expected each year and ended with a Sweet 16 in a year unranked in the preseason?


I hope CDT can match what the previous coach did.

This list shouldn't be surprising to anyone. It's pretty accurate as of today

So what would make you happy this year? NCAA only? Martin was picked 11 or 12 of 12 his first year but finished 2nd in the SEC but no NCAA. If CDT can match that it will be a good year imo.
