3. Best Defensive Overhaul: Larry Shyatt, Wyoming

Shyatt, the defensive-mastermind assistant behind Florida's back-to-back national titles in 2006 and 2007, made his mark on the Cowboys in Year 1 as head coach. He took over a team that ranked 191st and 218th in defensive efficiency the past two seasons -- and they jumped all the way to 27th in 2011-12, the biggest gain of any team in the nation. Shyatt installed his hybrid version of the Pack-Line Defense, which was first popularized by Dick Bennett at Wisconsin-Green Bay, and Wyoming used it to dominate the defensive glass (ranking 12th in fewest offensive boards allowed) and lock down the three-point line (ranking 36th in 3FG% allowed). The Cowboys' record, as a result, went from 10-21 to 21-12, and they're well-positioned to contend for an NCAA tournament bid next year.
