Really think Shaka Smart should be in the top 10 but I guess he has paid his ESPN dues yet.

Ya, I believe ESPN, LOL. Please quote a source that has some credibility.

Personally, I'd put Izzo ahead of Self, and I don't really like the guy.

If this is based on "in game adjustments", I would tend to agree with much of the list.

RE: Best Xs and Os coaches in college basketball - Coach K #1, Roy unranked

Good For Him!

K=4 in 30 Years

Roy=2 in 10 Years (at UNC)

I'll take it!

Roy:

#6 all time winning percentage.

The triangle and two to beat Roy last year was probably given alot of weight in the voting - for both Self and Roy.

I'll let you know when they post the Best recruiters in college basketball list. This list is about Xs and Os which is why Roy didn't get a vote.

A dead rat could recruit at UNC-CHeat so get over it!
