Only 4 CBB coaches in the last 70 years have won a NC at a school and left to go to another college program. Hell, it may be only 4 in the history of CBB, I just don’t feel like researching before 1960.
Norm Sloan - 1974 - Left NC Stare to go to Florida in 1980 after a salary dispute
Rollie Massimino - 1985 - Left Villanova to go to UNLV in 1992 after 7 straight seasons of double digit losses
Tubby Smith - 1998 - Left UK to go to Minnesota in 2007 after 2 seasons of only making the Rd of 32.
John Calipari - 2012 - Left UK to go to Arkansas in 2024 after 2 first round NCAA losses in 3 years.
2 of the 4 are UK coaches
