Best NCAAB coaches

Hard to believe that Tony Bennett hasn't been mentioned. Easily one of the best young coaches in the country.

I like Bennett, and if I had to pick a coach to win 1 game he would be at the top of my list along with Izzo and Coach K. But if I was picking a coach to build a program he would be lower on my list. This isn't to say he didn't build a top 25 program at WSU, and is now doing the same at UVA. I just have my doubts if he will ever be able to attract the high end talent that is needed to make Final 4's, and win championships. His style of play isn't flashy enough to attract top 25 recruits, at least not on a consistent basis.

I do agree though he is one of, if not the best defensive coach in the game.
