Came across an interesting article on something called New Arena ranking the top 30 coaches. Here is the list.

30. Chris Beard.
29, Bruce Pearl
28. Bruce Weber
27. Mark Turgeon
26. Matt Painter
25. Lon Kruger.
24. Buzz Williams
23. Eric Musselman
22. Chris Mack
21. Sean Miller
20. Leonard Hamilton
19. Jaime Dixon
18. Mike Brey
17. Dana Altmann
16. Jim Larranaga
15. Mick Cronin
14. Rick Barnes
13. Bob Huggins
12. Gregg Marshall
11. Ben Howland
10. Jon Beilein
9. Tony Bennett.
8. Mark Few
7. John Calipari
6. Bill Self
5. Jay Wright
4. Tom Izzo
3. Jim Boeheim
2. Roy Williams
1. Coach K.

Where's Mike? Shocking!!!!!!!!!

My quick thoughts are that Ben Howland is the highest rated coach who would not even make my list. Roy Williams is the highest rated coach who would be closer to #30 on my list followed by Boeheim. the most under rated to me are Beard, Buzz williams and maybe Matt Painter and definitely Jon Beilein. I think Tony Bennett is too low, but that is just me. i have him #1 and not b/c of this year nor last year. Others who would be deleted are Bruce Weber, Sean Miller for sure On the bubble are Hamilton and Marshall

Tony "Mr. Stall Ball" Bennett definitely a top coach. He invented the stall ball approach and it paid dividends with the NC finally.

Florida should pay well enough to snag a really good coach, good enough to build a real program.
IMO, White has UF stumbling.

Yeah I’d like to see what we could get outside of Foley’s bargain basement. Stricklin would make a better hire imo.

Feel like mark few, Lon Kruger and even Tom izzo have done more with less over a longer period time for each of their respective positions....
