2. Tony Bennet
3. Roy Williams (even though i hate him)

5. Mike Brey
On the bubble: Buzz Williams, Jim Laranaga, Leonard Hamilton

Feel like there is a big jump after 5. And would certainly not have buzz on the bubble.. he hasn't done too much yet.

He took the 15th best ACC team to a tournament team for back to back years now, that’s why i like him.

Roy has to be ahead of Tony Bennett

until Bennett actually does something in the NCAAT. Laranaga would be my choice from that next group.

1. Coach K - great coach, runs a clean program, has won a ton over several decades. Sets the standard for college basketball coaches IMO.
2. Roy Williams - can't stand him and think he's a snake, but there's no denying his ability to win.
3. Jim Boeheim - huge jerk, but he has won a lot.
4. Mike Brey - extremely underrated, but has won a lot and always has well-coached teams.
5. Tony Bennett - very good coach, but way behind the top 3 and a fair distance behind Brey IMO.
I think Brownell is an excellent coach, but he doesn't have the level of success over a long period of time that the top 5 do.
Another interesting way to rank them, which would be nearly impossible but fun, is to assume that each coach has the same roster. Equal talent, same advantages/disadvantages - how would you rank them? An argument could be made that coaches like Roy Williams, although successful, have always had a huge talent advantage over other coaches. Guys like Brownell and Buzz Williams, though, are always at a talent disadvantage over the blue blood basketball schools but still get a ton out of the players they do have.

saving me some typing
1. Coach K - great coach, has won a ton over several decades. (his program is not so squeaky clean)
2. Roy Williams - talks funny and dresses funny... has the 'good ole boy' schtick down like no one else... (but maybe that's who he really is?)
3. Mike Brey - always has well-coached teams.
4. Jim Boeheim - huge jerk, but he has won a lot
5. Tony Bennett - very good coach, but way behind the top 3 and a fair distance behind Brey IMO.

Why is Boehiem on this list? Yes he won a national championship but what makes him a good coach? Talk about overrated, his teams are on the bubble every single year
