Best Active College Basketball Coaches

He only has 10 losses at Allen Fieldhouse over 14 years he's been there. He turned a 3 star recruit named Frank Mason into a national player of the year. He's led Kansas to win 13 consecutive Big 12 titles which is amazing in today's sports world. To put that into perspective no team has accomplished that feat since the John Wooden era at UCLA.

12 straight big 12 regular season titles. Only one more away from tying UCLA's record. Only 9 losses at Allen Feildhouse. Enough said

I wish he was still at Illinois! Bruce Webber sucks! He can't recruit. We miss you Bill!

Can you deny the fact that he has won more big 12 titles than other coaches have wins at Allen Fieldhouse.

Tom Izzo has brought Michigan State to 5 Final Fours in 11 seasons as their head coach and now, in 2010 he has brought them to 7 Elite 8s. Not too mention he has a chance to bring them to 6 Final Fours in his 12th season against Tennessee and could probably win the entire tournament if his best player, Kailan Lucas wasn't out on injury with a ruptured achille's tendon. Michigan State was a sub par team since the days of Magic Johnson and he has brought the program back to its former glory with a National Championship in 2000. He also brought his team to the national championship game vs UNC and beat two number 1 seeds to get there. Tom Izzo is probably the best active coach given the amount of time he has been head coach and the improvements he has made in the Spartan's basketball program.

6 final fours in 12 seasons, if my math is correct that means he gets there half the time. not to mention a national title and countless Big Ten titles. plus the fact that he does not recruit the one and dones says alot. or even that he nationally recruits other than one player on his team they have all come from Michigan or surrounding states. Tom Izzo #1!

The only coach I would want to coach my son. A terrific, humble person who has more integrity than the other top 10 combined.

He rarely gets 5 star recruits an still wins big.

Winning big with slightly less talent or guy that totally flew under the radar. His style is very confusing to other coaches. His low key persona will probably keep him at a non blue blood if he ever decides to leave Virginia.

They’re rubbing elbows with UNC and Duke without getting high end talent. Usually, they only get 3 or 4 star talent but all their guys play defense or they sit on the bench. I’m predicting a Final Four in 2019, last year was a fluke.

Easily the best coach in college basketball right now, 2 unbeatable teams and 2 championships in the past 2 years, Hurley has helped to cement UConn as a blue blood and even appears poised to make a run next season.

Scott Drew has done a great job and has gotten the least respect. He works hard and he has earned my vote. He also has to put up with Rick Barnes being critical. All of the Big 12 coaches do not hate Scott Drew. But the media has played this drum and beat it hard. I didn't see him (Rick Barnes) saying, "Hey Baylor, Let me come coach for you since I am such a good coach. I will be glad to help turn your program around" It is easy to hate a small private school but it seems to be hard for some to be proud for others in the Big 12 even if it is not your school. I for one was very ready to root for a Big 12 team any time they played in the NCAA tournament. What is good for one Big 12 school helps us all!
