Seeding the Coaches of the Sweet 16
By Jeff Goodman FoxSports.com Posted Mar 25, 2008
With the Sweet 16 just days away, we'll give you the rundown of the 16 coaches that still remain — and seed them from 1 to 16.
Three of them — Roy Williams, Rick Pitino and Tom Izzo — are all looking for their second national title. Four more have been to at least one Final Four, but are still searching for the elusive national championship. Then you've got guys like Kansas' Bill Self, who has been criticized for his inability to get to the Final Four.
Our No. 16 seed is also the youngest coach of the group, Western Kentucky's Darrin Horn. However, there are a couple other under-40 coaches — Washington State's Tony Bennett and Xavier's Sean Miller — that are both making their first trip to the Sweet 16.
1. Roy Williams, North Carolina
NCAA tournaments: 19 Tournament record: 47-17 Final Four appearances: 5 Analysis: It's difficult not to put him at No. 1 after he moved ahead of Bob Knight in NCAA tournament wins and is now tied with John Wooden for third on the all-time list. Williams, 57, has made 19 consecutive appearances in the Big Dance and has been to five Final Fours -- four with Kansas (1991, 1993, 2002, 2003) and a national championship in 2005 with the Tar Heels. 2. Rick Pitino, Louisville NCAA tournaments: 13 Tournament record: 34-11 Final Four appearances: 5 Analysis: He's the only coach that has led three different teams to the Final Four. He did it with Providence in 1987, then won the national title with Kentucky in 1996 and advanced to the title game in 1997 with the Wildcats -- and advanced to the Final Four in 2005 with Louisville. Pitino's NCAA tournament winning percentage is third among active coaches (behind Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and Florida's Billy Donovan) at nearly 76 percent. 3. Tom Izzo, Michigan State NCAA tournaments: 11 Tournament record: 26-9 Final Four appearances: 4 Analysis: He's gone to 11 consecutive NCAA tournaments, has been to four Final Fours in the last 10 years and won the national championship in 2000. His winning percentage in the Big Dance (.743) ranks fifth among active coaches. 4. Ben Howland, UCLA NCAA tournaments: 7 Tournament record: 15-6 Final Four appearances: 2 Analysis: Has been to the NCAA tournament with three different schools -- UCLA, Pittsburgh and Northern Arizona. The 50-year-old Howland is looking to advance to the Final Four for the third straight season with the Bruins. He's also been to the Sweet 16 five times in the last seven years -- three with UCLA (2006, 2007, 2008) and two with Pittsburgh (2002, 2003). 5. John Calipari, Memphis NCAA tournaments: 10 Tournament record: 20-9 Final Four appearances: 1 Analysis: Calipari, 49, has led the Tigers to consecutive Elite Eight appearances, using a drive-and-kick offense that is well-suited to his personnel. Calipari, in his eighth season at Memphis, has led the Tigers to the Big Dance five times. He also went his final five seasons at UMass -- and led the Minutemen to the Final Four in 1996 and the Elite Eight in 1995. 6. Bob Huggins, West Virginia NCAA tournaments: 16 Tournament record: 22-15 Final Four appearances: 1 Analysis: Huggins, 54, is making his 16th NCAA tournament appearance and the first with his alma mater. He went 14 consecutive times with Cincinnati from 1992-2005 and also went once with Akron in 1986. Huggins led the Bearcats to the Final Four in 1992 and the Elite Eight in 1993 and 1996. 7. Rick Barnes, Texas NCAA tournaments: 16 Tournament record: 17-15 Final Four appearances: 1 Analysis: He's taken the Longhorns to the Big Dance in each of his 10 seasons since taking the reins. The 53-year-old has also led Texas to the Sweet 16 in five of the last seven years and the Longhorns advanced to the Final Four in 2003. Barnes was also the first Clemson coach to take the Tigers to three straight NCAA tournaments (1995-98). 8. Bill Self -- Kansas NCAA tournaments: 10 Tournament record: 18-9 Final Four appearances: 0 Analysis: One of just four coaches in D-I history to lead three programs -- Tulsa, Illinois and Kansas -- to the Elite Eight. Self, 45, took a hit when he lost two straight years in the first round in 2005 and 2006, but he's taken the Jayhawks to the Elite Eight twice -- in 2004 and 2007. He is still looking to go to the Final Four for the first time in his career.
9. Bo Ryan, Wisconsin NCAA tournaments: 7 Tournament record: 10-6 Final Four appearances: 0 Analysis: In his seven seasons with the Badgers, the 60-year-old Ryan has gone to the NCAA tournament every year. Ryan, the first coach to lead the school to three Sweet 16 berths, took the Badgers to the Elite Eight in 2005. Ryan also has four national titles to his credit as a Division III head coach with UW-Platteville. 10. Jay Wright, Villanova NCAA tournaments: 6 Tournament record: 7-5 Final Four appearances: 0 Analysis: Wright, 46, has led the Wildcats to the Big Dance in each of the last four years -- and a Sweet 16 appearance in three of the last four seasons. 'Nova went to the Elite Eight in 2006. Wright also led Hofstra to a pair of NCAA tournament appearances back in 2000 and 2001. 11. Bruce Pearl, Tennessee NCAA tournaments: 5 Tournament record: 7-4 Final Four appearances: 0 Analysis: Pearl has taken the Vols to three consecutive NCAA tournaments since taking over the program. He also took Wisconsin-Milwaukee twice -- and led the school to its first-ever Sweet 16 berth in 2005. Pearl also went to the D-II NCAA tournament nine times while at Southern Indiana -- with six Sweet 16s and one national title to his credit. 12. Trent Johnson, Stanford NCAA tournaments: 4 Tournament record: 4-3 Final Four appearances: 0 Analysis: Johnson has led the Cardinal to the NCAA tournament in four of his five seasons on The Farm, but this is the first time Stanford has gotten out of the first round. Johnson, 51, does have Sweet 16 experience as a head coach, taking Nevada to its first-ever Sweet 16 after knocking off Michigan State and Gonzaga in 2004. 13. Tony Bennett, Washington State NCAA tournaments: 2 Tournament record: 3-1 Final Four appearances: 0 Analysis: One of the elite young coaches in the game. Bennett will be mentioned for just about every high-major job opening -- and for good reason. However, he's still unproven in the Big Dance, with just four games under his belt in just his second season as a head coach. 14. Sean Miller, Xavier NCAA tournaments: 3 Tournament record: 3-2 Final Four appearances: 0 Analysis: The 39-year-old has led the Musketeers to the NCAA tournament in three of his four seasons at the helm, but this is the first time he's gone to the Sweet 16. A year ago, Xavier lost a heartbreaker to Ohio State in the second round. 15. Bob McKillop, Davidson NCAA tournaments: 5 Tournament record: 2-4 Final Four appearances: 0 Analysis: He's led the Wildcats to three consecutive NCAA tournaments and five overall in his tenure, which began in 1989. McKillop, 57, helped give Davidson its first NCAA tournament victory since 1969. 16. Darrin Horn, Western Kentucky NCAA tournaments: 1 Tournament record: 2-0 Final Four appearances: 0 Analysis: The former Marquette assistant is the Cinderella of the group, leading the Hilltoppers to their first Sweet 16 since 1993, when he was a player at Western Kentucky. It's also his first NCAA tournament in his five years as a head coach for the Hilltoppers.

Thursday in Morgantown there is a per-trial motion hearing!! Rod will not be there, hes to busy with his "Family Values Tour"!!! Last year I went through a very long and hard lawsuit!! My parents sued my wife and I over some family matters dealing with my kids!! The one thing that my lawyer impressed onto my wife and I was that to make sure we were at every trial!! Let the judge see that you are taking this trial very very serisously!! Now I understand that we are talking about a difference between my kids and $4 million dollars but we are still talking about court!! If the judge don't think you are handling the way he thinks that you should!! He can make your life hell!! So if Rod isn't going to show up it just shows that maybe $4 million don't mean that much to him!!

Eleven Straight
By BlueGoldNews.com
Posted Mar 26, 2008
For the second consecutive day, West Virginia got a grand slam to power a baseball win over an outmanned foe, and this time it also served as the impetus for a doubleheader sweep for the Mountaineers.
Justin Parks' grand slam in the fifth inning spaked the Mountaineers to a 10-5 win over Morehead State in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. WVU then rode the emotion generated by that blast for a 16-6 win in game two of the series. Parks finished with five hits and seven RBIs and scored four runs of his own on the afternoon. As it has in many games against outclassed foes this year, WVU got on the board early. The Mountaineers scored three runs in the first on the strength of an RBI single by Vince Belnome and a two-run hit by Joe Agreste to stake starter Billy Gross to a 3-0 lead.
After Morehead State got on the board with a single run in the third, WVU responded with solo tallies in the bottom of the third and fourth frames to push its lead to 5-1. Agreste drove in Belnome with a sacrifice fly in the third, and Tyler Kuhn did the same for Dan DiBartolomeo in the fourth.
The Mountaineers broke the game open in the fifth when Parks, following a Jordon Yost RBI single, blasted a grand slam to push WVU's lead to 10-1. Although Morehead State rallied for four runs in the top of the seventh, Chris Enouirato came on to get the final two outs and secure the victory.
WVU starter Billy Gross earned his fourth win of the season against no losses. He gave up just one run on three hits, striking out six and walking three in six innings of work.
The Mountaineers didn't get off to quite as quick of a start in game two, but it still jumped on the board before its foe. Belnome continued his success at the plate with a two-run double in the third to give the Mountaineers a two-run lead.
This time, however, West Virginia wasn't able to pull away early. MSU answered with its own two-RBI double, then took the lead at 3-2 on a pair of wild pitches.
West Virginia's booming bats were quick to respond, putting up six runs in the fourth. Agreste again smoked an RBI double and came around to score on an error. Vince Belnome's triple and Justin Markel's run-scoring double put WVU up 8-3.
One inning later, Tyler Kuhn continued the extra-base hit streak with a two-run double that pushed the lead out to 10-3. Parks wrapped up his monster day with another two RBI single, and Belnome did likewise to extend the lead to 14-3. WVU closed its scoring in the eighth inning with a pair of runs.
For WVU, Ross Fetterly (2-1) earned his second win of the season, giving up two runs on five hits, striking out two and walking three in 3.2 innings of work.
West Virginia will try to keep its winning streak going, albeit against much tougher competition, when it travels to New Jersey to face Rutgers in a three game weekend series. Game one of the set will begin Friday at 3:30 p.m.

I do think that it should be the same as football "after the junior year"!! In football there is a lot more chance of injury so there is no excuse for basketball to leave after the Freshman year!!

K-States head coach has said that his star player is talking about going pro!! Do you think its a good idea for him to go? The kid is a great talent but I have a problem with kids leaving school that are on scholarship before they fulfill that scholarship!!! Yes Beasley will most likely go 1st and get Kevin Durant money which is over $100 million in salary and indorsements!! How can kids turn that down!! I'm really torn on the whole subject but tell me what you think!!

Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez responded Saturday to recent allegations from a now-former player that his program has a lack of family values.
"I've been a head coach for 15 years," Rodriguez told reporters. "I think we have as close a family unit ... than anybody in the country. Always has been and always will be."
Rodriguez's comments came several days after offensive lineman Justin Boren left the Michigan football team because the program's "family values have eroded."
"I have great trouble accepting that those family values have eroded in just a few months," Boren said. "That I am unable to perform under these circumstances at the level I expect of myself, and my teammates and Michigan fans deserve, is why I have made the decision to leave."
To stress his point, Rodriguez noted in his press conference that his own mother-in-law traveled more than seven hours from her home to spend time with the Michigan team and its coach.
"Family is pretty important to all of us, and every coach can tell you that," Rodriguez said. "Just ask anybody who has played for me in the last 15 years. Don't ask somebody that's left with a different agenda."
Rodriguez took over the Wolverines in December for longtime Michigan man Lloyd Carr.
OK OK OK HOLD IT ONE SECOND!!! Have you ever heard such a line of shit in your life!! This guy is worse than any use car salesman in the world!! He could put a spin on any topic and make ESPN believe him!! Dick Rod will get his when it all hits the fan!!

Trying to put a tumultuous few months behind it, Indiana University will hire Marquette's Tom Crean as its new coach.
By The Numbers Tom Crean racked up a 190-96 record in nine seasons with the Golden Eagles. Here's a look at some of his other numbers at Marquette:
• 5 NCAA tournaments • 1 Sweet 16 • 1 Final Four • 1 C-USA regular-season title • 3 NIT appearances • 1 NIT quarterfinals
The agreement was first reported by ESPN.com's Andy Katz on Tuesday, and university trustee Philip Eskew confirmed the hiring to The Associated Press later in the day. Eskew said Crean had signed a letter of intent with the university and was meeting with his team Tuesday night.
The school has tentatively scheduled a news conference for Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET to make the announcement.
The hiring comes near the end of a tumultuous six-week period in which former Hoosiers coach Kelvin Sampson resigned amid an NCAA scandal, interim coach Dan Dakich replaced him and then lost four of seven games.
Dakich also suspended guard Jamarcus Ellis for disciplinary reasons for the Hoosiers' game at Penn State, and announced Tuesday that Ellis and guard Armon Bassett had been kicked off the team for missing two scheduled events.
Crean, who led Marquette to the Final Four in 2003, will responsible for rebuilding not only Indiana's reputation as a national power but also its sullied image as a squeaky-clean program.
"I think he's a great choice," Eskew said. "He has a Big Ten background, a Midwest background, he's recruited in the state of Indiana and he has an impeccable record, so I think Indiana is on the road to recovery."
Now the question is what kind of team will Crean inherit.
Starting forwards D.J. White and Lance Stemler both finished their senior seasons, and it's uncertain whether Bassett and Ellis, two of the starting guards, will return after being punished for missing an appointment last week. When they didn't show up to run laps the next day, Dakich decided to dismiss them from the team.
On Monday, freshman Eric Gordon is expected to announce whether he will declare early for the NBA. Most figure, he's leaving, which would leave Indiana without all five of its regular starters from last season.
Outside the administration, the decision was greeted warmly, too.
"I think it's a very good move," said Jared Jeffries, a former Indiana star now playing for the New York Knicks. "He's proven himself to be a successful college coach at this level, a very good recruiter, recognize talent. That's who we need at Indiana, we need somebody who is going to be stable, a foundation for our future."
Knicks coach Isiah Thomas, who led Indiana to the 1981 national title, also endorsed the move.
Some thought Thomas might be a candidate to take over at his alma mater, but Thomas, who has never coached at the college level, said Sunday he was never contacted by university officials.
"He's got a brilliant basketball mind -- definitely a good hire for Indiana -- I was very vocal about Dan getting the job, but Tom is definitely qualified and will do an excellent job at Indiana," Thomas said before his game in Milwaukee on Tuesday. "Any way that I can help him, I definitely will."
Crean went 190-96 in nine seasons at Marquette. He leaves for a job that came open after Sampson's latest alleged missteps with the NCAA.
Sampson left in February amid a phone-call scandal that brought five allegations of major infractions from the NCAA. Dakich's promotion to interim coach fueled threats of a player boycott and the Hoosiers (25-8) never recovered. They lost four of their final seven games, including a last-second defeat against Minnesota in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals and an 86-72 loss to Arkansas in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Since firing Bob Knight in September 2000, a move that sharply divided Indiana fans, the Hoosiers have failed to find a suitable successor. Mike Davis, who replaced Knight, never won enough to satisfy Indiana's rabid fans, and it took Sampson, Davis' successor, less than two years to stain the university's once-impeccable reputation for playing by the rules.
Sampson took the Indiana job in March 2006 and two months later was penalized by the NCAA for making 577 impermissible phone calls between 2000 and 2004 when he was coaching Oklahoma.
The second wave of charges emerged in October when a university investigation found Sampson and his staff made more than 100 impermissible calls while still under recruiting restrictions and that Sampson participated in at least 10 three-way calls, another violation of the NCAA's punishment.
Athletic director Rick Greenspan called the violations secondary, imposing a one-year extension of the NCAA's recruiting restrictions and pulling a $500,000 raise. The Hoosiers also took away one scholarship for the 2008-09 season.
However, an NCAA report released Feb. 13 by Indiana claimed Sampson provided false and misleading information to investigators from both the university and the NCAA, failed to meet the "generally recognized high standard of honesty" expected in college sports and failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance within the program.
Sampson has denied intentionally providing investigators with false information.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
