Saul - I guess I'm still giving Drew credit for the job he did when he to Baylor. I was highly impressed then... I agree with you that it's hard to do these things ... it's even harder when there are so many new coaches around. I based mine, like I said, on Xs and Os ability AND what they do with the talent they have. That's why Barnes and Self (guys who have done relatively little with a lot of talent) rate fairly low in my book and guys like Drew and McDermott (who have coached up the small amount of talent they have) rate so highly. I agree with you that Gillispie coaches an ugly brand of basketball... but it's no uglier than what Barnes does. I just thank God Bruce Weber isn't the coach at kU. That team would be unstoppable with him at the helm... well, until Self's recruits left. ![]()

In terms of what? X's and O's? Recruting prowess? Winning %? Anyways, gut feeling:
1. RMK 2. Billy Gillispie 3. Bob Huggins 4. Bill Self 5. Sean Sutton 6. Rick Barnes 7. Greg McDermott 8. Scott Drew 9. Jeff Capel 10. Mike Anderson 11. Doc Sadler 12. Ricardo Patton This is kind of a bullshit question because alot of these coaches are new. Plus some are good gameday coaches, others are good recruiters, some are both. |

I'm not sure how i'd rank them going by pure x's and o's. Alot of it is unknown due to the coaches being new,and me not knowing a whole lot about them.
I'd obviously list RMK as the best. Past that, I think Rick Barnes, Bob Huggins, and even Ricardo Patton are solid X's and O's coaches. I assume Sean Sutton is due to his upbringing. Billy G. is overrated IMO. He just teaches bad basketball, which is hack everyone like crazy to dictate the tempo of the game, and try to get your biggest guy on the low post to foul. Self is average. He is like Billy G (same tutelage for the most part), they run similar systems. |

I just don't see it with Drew. He hasn't coached them up. They have alot of talent on that team, they should be winning more games.

I'm talking about a few years back... I saw them in Columbia and was impressed with the job Drew did. Of course, the coach he was being compared to that day was Quin Snyder, so maybe that skewed things a bit. ![]() Either way, I'll be watching closely when Mizzou plays Baylor. You may very well be right.

With the type of talent he has, he's number 9 or so on the B12 list.

Being a CU fan, I have to agree wholeheartedly with those ranking Ricardo as the worst. Will we never know what goods he has, and on whom, to have allowed him to keep his job this long?
It's not just that he has so consistently failed to bring in good talent, it is also that he has failed to develop and coach talent when he has been lucky enough to get it: that team a few years back with David Harrison and that pretty good swingman, I forget his name, would have won a lot of games under Bob Knight. |

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