Who is the best College Basketball Coach Right Now?

[C0|db|00ded]

No way Roy Boy Williams.

Wright is an easy choice but I'm biased with Marshall of course. Take a look at WSU's recent record over the last 5 years without any superstar players on the roster.

Since 2013-14, the Shockers own the most road wins (48-8) and highest percentage (.857) in Division I. Three of the eight losses have come in overtime.

They've also been one of the decade's most successful programs. Since the start of the 2010-11 season, the Shockers' .828 winning percentage (231-48) is second only to Gonzaga. During that span, WSU is 3-2 against the other four schools on the list, defeating Gonzaga, Kansas and Arizona once-each, while losing twice to Kentucky. All five matchups came in first or second round NCAA Tournament games.

Jay Wright is a hot name. Not sure he is the best.

I think it may honestly be Roy Williams right now. Not sure you could argue anyone but Bill Self and K; the latter has obvious reasons. You'd really, really, really have to devalue the tournament to make that case for Self. A case I wouldn't even make. Cogent, but weak.

You'd almost have to include Greg Marshall in the conversation with what he's done there.

Because college coaches unlike NBA coaches are kind of coach/GM/and even a little President combined.

Now that's he back in the game, Jim Calhoun.

I think it's awesome that someone with enough $ to take his whole entire family around the world every day until he dies still wants to coach.

Love for the game. I wish I had a job like that.

If Hurley turned down UConn for Pitt, there was a non-zero chance he'd be doing it again for UConn.

My guess is with a CIW, maybe Baker Dunleavy.

Not "right now" for sure...but definitely one of the best. But he couldn't do it nowadays with the candy asses of today.
