Coach Rankings Part 2

Yesterday, I explained the concept of my coach rankings. Today I provide the detailed numbers for each conference.

Big East      Coach             RECR  REG   PASE  TOT
Connecticut   Jim Calhoun       0.91  1.96  0.52  3.39  
Louisville    Rick Pitino       0.91  1.09  0.46  2.46  
Georgetown    John Thompson III 0.84  1.27  0.22  2.33  
Pittsburgh    Jamie Dixon       0.44  2.04 -0.17  2.32  
Syracuse      Jim Boeheim       0.93  0.82  0.30  2.04  
Villanova     Jay Wright        0.92  0.91  0.15  1.99  
Notre Dame    Mike Brey         0.68  0.33 -0.12  0.89  
St. John's    Norm Roberts      0.23 -0.23    
West Virginia Bob Huggins             1.32 -0.47   
South Florida Stan Heath              0.35  0.40   
DePaul        Jerry Wainwright       -0.09  0.07   
Cincinnati    Mick Cronin             0.20    
Seton Hall    Bobby Gonzalez          0.06    
Rutgers       Fred Hill      
Providence    Keno Davis      
Marquette     Buzz Williams


Recent Hires: Keno Davis has zero NCAA wins, but one very shiny national coach of the year trophy. Buzz Williams has only one (moderately successful) year of head coaching experience. He was a serious downgrade for Marquette.

Hot Seat: Norm Roberts dodged the hot seat this year, but he needs to make the tournament.

ACC            Coach             RECR  REG   PASE  TOT
North Carolina Roy Williams      1.41  2.47  0.55  4.43  
Duke           Mike Krzyzewski   1.80  2.33 -0.34  3.79  
Georgia Tech   Paul Hewitt       1.02  0.43  0.29  1.73  
Maryland       Gary Williams     0.69  0.50  0.47  1.66  
Boston College Al Skinner        0.14  1.42 -0.24  1.32  
Clemson        Oliver Purnell    0.20  0.55 -1.04 -0.30  
Miami          Frank Haith       0.33  0.24    
Virginia Tech  Seth Greenberg    0.32  0.23    
Florida State  Leonard Hamilton  0.84 -0.69    
Virginia       Dave Leitao             0.24    
NC State       Sidney Lowe      
Wake Forest    Dino Gaudio


Recent Hires: Dino Gaudio has some very talented young players and a great chance to prove himself in the coming years.

Hot Seat: Leonard Hamilton has clearly recruited a lot of talent to Florida St., but his teams can't seem to put it together.

Big 12        Coach             RECR  REG   PASE  TOT
Kansas        Bill Self         1.57  2.19  0.25  4.00  
Texas         Rick Barnes       1.02  2.14 -0.07  3.09  
Baylor        Scott Drew        0.50  0.03    
Missouri      Mike Anderson           0.42  0.45   
Iowa State    Greg McDermott          0.50 -0.44   
Texas A&M     Mark Turgeon            0.44    
Colorado      Jeff Bzdelik            0.31    
Oklahoma      Jeff Capel III          0.31    
Nebraska      Doc Sadler              0.22    
Oklahoma St   Travis Ford            -0.18    
Kansas State  Frank Martin      
Texas Tech    Pat Knight      


Recent Hires: I think Travis Ford will be fine at Oklahoma St., but you usually do not get hired after you narrowly miss the NCAA tournament.

Hot Seat: Frank Martin doesn't have Beasley anymore. Can he hang onto the job?

Big 10         Coach             RECR  REG   PASE  TOT
Ohio State     Thad Matta        1.13  1.45  0.32  2.90  
Michigan State Tom Izzo          1.03  1.09  0.72  2.84  
Wisconsin      Bo Ryan           0.55  2.02  0.13  2.70  
Illinois       Bruce Webber      0.42  1.42  0.41  2.25  
Penn State     Ed DeChellis      0.04  0.03    
Northwestern   Bill Carmody      0.00 -0.02    
Minnesota      Tubby Smith             1.77 -0.05   
Purdue         Matt Painter            1.23 -0.13   
Indiana        Tom Crean               1.07 -0.15   
Michigan       John Beilein            0.55    
Iowa           Todd Lickliter          0.47


Recent Hires: Tom Crean will have his work cut out for him, but he can get it done at Indiana.

Hot Seat: Ed DeChellis, Bill Carmody, nothing new here.

Pac 10        Coach             RECR  REG   PASE  TOT
UCLA          Ben Howland       1.10  1.90  0.67  3.68  
Arizona       Lute Olson        0.88  1.49 -0.14  2.22  
Washington    Lorenzo Romar     0.81  0.88 -0.46  1.23  
Oregon        Ernie Kent        0.44  0.39 -0.07  0.76  
Arizona State Herb Sendek             0.61  0.09   
USC           Tim Floyd               1.12    
California    Mike Montgomery              -1.14
Washington St Tony Bennett      
Stanford      Johnny Dawkins      
Oregon State  Craig Robinson


Recent Hires: In his last stint in the Pac10, Mike Mongomery was dominant in the regular season and struggled in the tournament. Johnny Dawkins looks to prove that Duke assistants are better than people think. Craig Robinson needs to work a miracle.

SEC            Coach             RECR  REG   PASE  TOT
Florida        Billy Donovan     1.31  1.57  0.71  3.58  
Alabama        Mark Gottfried    0.81  0.48 -0.10  1.19  
Vanderbilt     Kevin Stallings   0.43  0.74  0.01  1.18  
Mississippi St Rick Stansbury    0.60  1.01 -0.53  1.09  
Georgia        Dennis Felton     0.34  0.07 -0.30  0.12  
Auburn         Jeff Lebo         0.31 -0.38    
Tennessee      Bruce Pearl             1.77  0.01   
LSU            Trent Johnson           0.82  0.09   
Kentucky       Billy Gillispie         0.86 -0.02   
Arkansas       John Pelphrey           0.07    
South Carolina Darrin Horn            -0.06    
Mississippi    Andy Kennedy           -0.21    


Recent Hires: Trent Johnson is a proven winner and a great hire by LSU. Believe it or not, Darrin Horn actually recruited some talent to Western Kentucky, otherwise his regular season rating would be higher. South Carolina hopes he can recruit in the SEC.

Hot Seat: Jeff Lebo needs to show some signs of progress. Dennis Felton may have saved his job with an SEC tournament win. Still, what does it say that his team played better when they did not have time to practice?
