Interesting topic on Around the Horn...

If you had to bet one game on one of the coaches in the Final Four, who would it be?

Matta?
Pitino?
Calipari?
Self?

For me, based on history and with everything else being equal, in descending order it'd be:

Pitino
Self
Calipari
Matta

 

[BRNCUSEFRVCUSE]

Coach Boeheim

Coach Boeheim

I didn't realize he was one of the coaches in the Final Four this year.

I dont know how much more I can take lol

 

[BRNCUSEFRVCUSE]

He is a better coach then any of those coaches,

ill play your game anybody but calapari, have at it

 

[CuseTroop]

He is a better coach then any of those coaches

But there is the whole, "coach has to be in the final four" rule...

 

[jekelish]

He is a better coach then any of those coaches

Beside the point, whether it's true or not.

Now go back to what you do best and dance in traffic and allow people to actually answer the question as stated.

Bullshit, boeheims the only coach out of that group who didnt recruit calderon, how can he be better? You cant miss talent like that and be a great coach

For a quick second the other day, I started to think that brncuse was someone that you made up because you werent having enough fun on the board. Then I realized.. You cant make this up

 

[PauliePeppas]

Btw im going with pitino

 

[jdubs30]

Calipari is doing a good job this year, so him. but otherwise, Pitino.

He'd be the alternate personality if I was trying to kill myself.

 

[BRNCUSEFRVCUSE]

Ill pick Bill Self he seems like a good guy

 

[NKR1978]

Pitino, and it isn't even close. One of the most underrated coaches in college basketball history. The Louisville fans who call for him to be fired year after year don't deserve him.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Ill pick Bill Self he seems like a good guy

There you go! (Applause) Not so bad, eh? I like Self and Pitino.

 

[jekelish]

I think this proves I could ask "Who would you take in a tennis match, Rafa Nadal or Jim Boeheim?" and Bjorn Calderon would respond with the latter.

 

[bevosu]

Pitino...because he's the best coach out of that group.

 

[PoppyHart]

Pitino
Calipari
Matta
Self

But they're all future HOF'ers.

 

[orange79]

Coach Boeheim

 

[Melancer46]

I would say Pitino, Calipari, Matta, and Self in that order.
