All of the following schools are successful basketball schools.  The question is whether it is because the school is a brand or because for the past X years, they have had a great coach. Here is a list with my opinion. Feel free to add your own:

UNC     - Brand
Kentucky - Brand
Kansas   - Brand
UCLA - Brand
Indiana- Brand
MSU - leaning toward brand because of past successes

Syracuse - to be detemined
UCONN - to be determined
Duke  - to be determined, leaning toward brand because of prior final fours
Gonzaga - to be determined, but 2 succesful coaches in a row lean me toward brand

Michigan - I think coach - you know the name, but not a real deciding factor for recruits.
OSU  - see Michigan
Florida - coach
Butler - coach
GTown -lean toward coach, given Esherick, plus the style changed so much with JT3 its hard to say brand

SJU - should be a brand, but I say coach
Nova - I say coach, until I see what the next guy does.
Arizona - seems to be a brand, with how quickly Miller has cranked things up.
WVU - coach

KSU - coach
Texas - tough to say, but at this point I lean toward coach. (for bball)
Missouri - I always think of Mizzou as a good basketball school, so for me, Brand.
