Top 25 CBB Jobs

[HuskyFich]

Have at it….

10 is pretty generous honestly.

Kind of a silly argument when the coaches themselves have such an impact. Gonzaga is not a top-25 job for anyone but Few. Sane could be said for Nova, Purdue and a few other programs.

Oh my. How quickly we forget Dan Monson.

7 to 10 seems where we ought to be.

 

[Punkbo]

I think it’s a fair ranking. You could probably argue that we’re above Zona.

I don't know the criteria for this list but how is Nova not a top 25 job? They have 3 national championships, they've always been successful, they pay a ton, you're in a major city, you play in the best conference tournament in the country every season.

Few's been at Gonzaga in some capacity or another for almost 35 years. He and Monson were assistants together and Monson bounced for the Big Ten as soon as they made that elite eight run in '99. Few deserves way more credit for what Gonzaga is today.

I rather be at ucla than Lexington or Lawrence, and it’s not that close. Plus the fan base will be less in your butt than just about any other program that can recruit at that level.

Nova is #14 which is according to my math in the top 25.
Texas #7 is way off, swap them in/back for Maryland at 17 & throw the Terps off the list - ADD UVA.

 

[Incursio007]

No way IU should be that high. They literally haven’t won anything in decades. Louisville is questionable too. Outside of that, seems about right.

Look at the post I was responding to.

The power of branding! Georgetown has barely looked like a D1 team for 2 seasons but they snagged a top 20 spot

But below Louisville?? Really.

When are people just going to accept Indiana sucks?

When are people just going to accept Indiana sucks?

Indiana the team may suck (if Kenpom #30 last year counts as sucking), but the coaching job is pretty good. Indiana has B10 money, is top 10 nationally in home attendance at 16,000 per game, has a strong supportive fan base, is close to Chicago and some other recruiting markets. A good coach could parlay that into a team that competes nationally. After Bobby Knight had a .735 winning percentage there, Kelvin Sampson had a .741 winning percentage. Mike Woodson, the current coach, makes $3 million per year, slightly more than Dan Hurley. I'd say that's a good job.

 

[Palatine]

Georgetown?

 

[djct1999]

Anytime Storrs CT is ranked in the top 10 of a positive list, I will take it. In terms of basketball, it should probably be ranked 7th.

 

[ucp990411]

He had one season when he caught lightening in bottle

 

[Hoophound]

Lol. All of our last 3 coaches won natties. Who else on this list has done that? It’s the real sign of a very good job.

Yeah it's a good job, but I'd say expectations from a fan base and feasibility to deliver weigh pretty heavily too. In that regard, IU should be dinged.

It was a joke guys. I agree Gonzaga is a 1 trick pony. They are Cuse without that 1 title.

No one under the age of 40 has ever seen them even do anything that matters. Haven’t even made the Elite 8 in over 20 years. They’re honestly irrelevant lol

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Georgetown?

How else to explain that they got Ed Cooley to leave Providence?

 

[Chin Diesel]

Texas is too high for a bball job.
