Favorite basketball coach outside of UT

I asked this on TOOS but then thought better of it. I'm sure all I will get over there is "Bruce Pearl".

My pick would be Tom Izzo.

 

Larry Brown.

 

Izzo.

 

not allowed to have another favorite. makes you not a VFL IYAM JMO IIRC GBO

 

Buzz Peterson. He got it done.

 

Crean
Izzo
Byrd
RMK

 

Abe Lemons former Texas coach for this one quote. When asked about raising the height of the basket in the 70's, Abe said," I think we should cut holes in the floor and recruit midgets!"

 

Really like Izzo. They don't play fancy, they just show up to work every day with their hard hats on. Also like Rick Byrd, especially yesterday they cut to him on the sideline and he was just ripping some kid a new one in the sweater vest, it was awesome.

 

Izzo
Crean
I loved listening to Bob Knight's press conferences

 

Nick Saban of basketball, comes in, wins and leaves

 

I would like for crean to wear a pedometer during games because id like to know how many miles he walks up and down the sideline.

 

Knight
Huggins
Izzo
Crean
Majerus

Edit: Omitted Bill Self.

 

Majerus is one of the last left with a personality

 

Aside from Izzo, I was a big Maryland/Gary Williams fan too.

 

I liked Buzz's wife. She's ummmmmm friendly. Yeah, friendly.

 

Self. Izzo. Dixon. Tony Bennett. Was a big Chaney fan. Man, I miss that guy.

 

I actually like Bob Huggins a lot.

 

I'm a big fan of Cal.

::waits for haranguing::

 

Unfortunately he won't leave. Saban, of course.

 

Tom Crean.
