How would you rank John Wooden, Pat Summitt, Nick Saban, Bear Bryant, and Geno Auriemma from 1-5?

The only one on your list that hasn't won a title is Pearl.

All very good coaches with very good players.

Tit for tat compared to one another but all ahead of the field of other coaches.

Absolutely. To me Dean Smith did less with more, should have had way more titles. Pat would have won with those teams

Wooden is the goat. No sport has ever seen that kind of dominance. Saban would be next in regard to NCAA sports.
