1 Knight

2 Gillespie


3 Self





then everybody else.

Jeff Capel just beat Baylor by 40 with inferior talent. I seriously doubt he is in the bottom tier of coaches. Drew is though.

Knight
Self
Barnes
Huggins
Gillespie

The rest

This is hard to do what with half of them being new this year to the Big XII and only halfway through the season. Based on what little I've seen of SOME of these guys:

1) Bob Knight (Far and away)
2) Billy Gillispie
3) Rick Barnes
4) Mike Anderson
5) Bob Huggins
6) Greg McDermott
7) Bill Self
8) Sean Sutton
9) Scott Drew
10) Jeff Capel
11) Doc Sadler
12) Ricardo Patton

"good motivator"

Yeah, he is much better than THUGGINS.

Agreed.

Thuggins gets better talent than Knight since he will take players with baggage that Bobby and most other D 1 coaches won't touch with a ten foot pole.

#1 Steve Alford........... Oh wait nevermind

Iowa basketball sucks, oh wait nevermind.

Why do you guys all put Bob Knight at #1 or #2? I don't understand. This day and age you have to be able to recruit, and Bob Knight can't recruit for shit. I think Bobby is by far and away the best IN GAME and X's and O's coach out there but coaching these days is more than that. You have to have great charisma, have a likable personality, and be able to charm 5 Star kids to come to your school. I would not put Knight that far up there, unless you are talking about the overall picture. If you are talking about how good the coach is RIGHT NOW, I would put Knight as #3 behind Gillespie and Rick Barnes, then Knight, then Self. After that, who cares.

If you would of let Knight coach KU the last 3 years do you think we would of got Chalmers, DA, Collins, Rush, and all of those guys? Ha, hell no. You have to give the guy credit though, he gets it done with Jarrius Jackson and Martin Zeno.

I am pretty sure if you put Knight at a Duke or Kansas he would still get plenty of big name recruits.

I think once Anderson gets "his" guys in this team will be real fun to watch. i like how he has done, he just might save MU.

Can't you read, dipshit?

"rank them by X's and O's and all related court preparation.

recruiting, money etc doesn't count"

anyone care to change their rankings now?

Mine is still looking pretty accurate.

yours is looking pretty good at this point ... although i might flip-flop Rick Barnes and Bob huggins.
