Tell me why, and don't just put someone because they have had success. What about a coach who has taken a team that has not done good and brought them up to be a contender?

Coack K.
Quite possibly the best coach ever. I mean the guy coaches the American National Team and he coaches Duke, a small private school that has academic eligiblity/standards on the same tier as Ivy League schoold. Coach K brings in the talent, and when his players leave they are way better than when they came. Not to mention Coach K is the master at keeping his guys around for atleast 3 years. He is the best in college and in the last 10 years has by far more wins than anybody. In fact since he took over Duke he has more wins than anybody. He reloads every single year and 25+ wins is a given for his teams. Coach K has consistently been the coach of the best team in the best conference of the past 25+ years. He won something like 10 ACC regular seasons and 10 ACC Tournaments in a row.
Duke was not a basketball school when he took over. Since then they have won 3 Titles, been to atleast 5 of them, and been to 10 or so Final Fours. Seriously in the last 30 years nobody comes close to Coack K in terms of accomplishment, recruiting, and coaching.
Bobby Knight is outdated. He's done nothing in the past 10 years other than get banned from Indiana and break the wins record(which Coach K and Roy Williams will break soon enough).

Coach Knight because he gets the most out of the least. His team is always right in the mix despite the fact that over the past few years he hasnt had any real NBA level talent.
If anybody said Coach K then that i just not right. The guy is a great recruiter, yes, but he's not the BEST coach, just a good one. He has "great" players on his team every year...

Jim Laranaga, the coach of George Mason. seriously, how many people knew there was a college called george mason before they went to the final four? he never got the best recruits but used what he had and made a great team. I live right by george mason and have watched them grow from nothing to what they are now. he has a 166-105 record in nine years at George Mason, including a 157-87 mark over the past eight years.

Coach Knight. He gets more out of crappy players than anybody else. Look at how many players Duke has put in the pros. Compare that to Knight.
Knight's a fantastic teacher and coach.

Billy Donovan.... He took the U of Florida from a nothing college program to a national power.... National Championship last year and quite possibly a repeat.
This is from a Florida State fan that hates U of Fla

it has to be coach k. he can coach, and duke wasnt even a basketball college when they started, and he already took them to three championship, i think he is going to beat bobby knight record and dean smith record of wins in the next three year he already has seven hundred and something
