Coaches with number one picks.

[OrangeDW]

There are ten active coaches who have had a guy go number one overall. Who can name them?

Everyone should get one. So you really just have to come up with nine.

Boeheim(Coleman)
Self(Wiggins)
Calipari(Wall, Davis, Rose)
Coach K(Irving, Brand)
Thad Matta(Oden)
Steve Fisher(Webber)
Bobby Huggins (Martin),
Whoever UNLV's coach is(Bennett)

That's what I got.

should make this a sporcle quiz.

Ok now, how many of those #1 picks deserved to be #1 first at the time of the pick and 2nd with 20-20 hindsight making them arguably the best player in the draft several years later. (say 3 or 5 years.) I think its obvious that Martin did not deserve the status then or now. Any others?

I don't think Bennett will ever be worthy of the #1 IMHO.
