I would think Nolan has to be on a consideration list.

He is the only coach in basketball history to win an NCAA D1 title, NIT Title, and JUCO National title.

NIT doesn’t really carry much weight though.

It did in 1980-81 when he won it at Tulsa.

I think the answer has to be K just based on all of the counting stats like total wins, FFs, national titles, regular season and conf. tournament titles, etc.

Dean’s four corners is getting panned a lot I see. Not going to deny that it was kind of lame lol. Only pushback would be that he really only used four corners when he needed to salt away close, low-scoring games. His teams played a relatively fast-paced style for the most part and he still won a lot after the shot clock was implemented.

In any case, I think Roy was better than Dean.

I understand and like the info on Case.


There is a killer documentary on ACC basketball. The first Episode is about Everett Case and the start of the ACC tourney. Episode 2 is about Frank Mcguire at UNC and a few others. It is such a great watch and I am not an ACC guy.

I think it is called "The Tournament"

Pitino is probably the only one to win national titles at multiple southern schools.
