Poll: Best coach in college basketball currently

[Just a VolinTears]

Seen a lot of chatter about this. I think it's Hurley, no matter what happens tonight. 17-1 in last 18 tourney games in this day in age is so unreal

Hard to say. It seems like the more you spend on your roster, the better your chances of winning no matter who the coach is.

Coach money is the best $$$$$$

Three guys better than some of those on the list: Painter, Sampson and Scheyer.

Curious who on the list you’d put those guys ahead of, not sure I’d do so for any of them

Cal, Petino, Self

Cal, Petino, Self

Interesting. You must put a very strong emphasis on “What have you done for me lately” which is fair enough. Though even in that department Few doesn’t look so hot (relatively to the other names)

Cal, Petino, Self

I agree that Sampson and Painter are underrated coaches who deserve a lot more respect than they get, and Scheyer is a great coach as well-but I don’t understand how on earth you can rank them above Bill Self, who won a championship 5 years ago, versus their 0.

How many championships have those three won as a group?

I'd take Hurley, Pitino, and Izzo.

I chose Pitino despite Hurley’s amazing accomplishments. RP is a great coach (less than fantastic person, but aren’t we all?) and truth be told there’s no telling how many national championships he’d have if only he’d stayed at Kentucky instead of leaving for the NBA.

Gonzaga's enrollment is 7,000. What Few has done is downright remarkable

No arguments there

When I look at the players he's had and the players Sampson and Painter have had, I think they've done a better job coaching over the past 2-3 years. Right now, I'd take Sampson and Painter over Self if I were choosing a coach. If I were AD and had my choice of hires, I would probably go 1. Hurley, 2. Scheyer, 3. Golden

Scheyer walked into a perfect situation. I'm not sold on his coaching abilities. Let's see what he can do at a school that doesn't get their choice of players and ref assists. Then we can rank him.

My pick also. I agree with all and would add that anytime he's on the floor as a coach, his team is going to make it a game.
