Where would you put Eddie Sutton? Kentucky fans say he’s the worst other than Billy Clyde.

Thought his issue was hes a very good x n o coach but a piss poor recruiter. I believed he pissed off Chicago schools and once he lost them he was done at Illinois.

Bill Self made his living at U of I because during his time Central Illinois basketball had talent on the level of the city. Brian Cook, Peoria Manuel 3 those guys haven't been around since Shaun Livingston which has 15 years.

I know he was, but the UK fans think he was the devil incarnate

Assistants under Sutton were Self, Keady, Hamilton, Pat Foster, Dickey, Jimmy Dykes, Pelphrey, Jankovich, and Brooks Thompson

Illinois didn't think so. 6 years later, the only thing separating Illinois from Rock Bottom is Rutgers.

I think that tells the tale on Illinois' judgment on such matters.

Huggins also got fired from the first school he took to the final 4.

Fired in disgrace actually.

You saying his DUI did not deserve the firing? I mean he had for years used the NBA to get pay raises and they got the chance to get rid of him.

IIRC they asked him to resign or get fired.

Kruger is a HOF coach imo. He had K State in an Elite 8, rebuilt Florida for Donovan, had Vegas going the right way.

Did Bartow win a Championship?

Lou Henson may need to be on this list also.

TECHNICALLY, he only took Kentucky.


So does that make Rick Pitino the only coach to take 3 different schools to the Final Four, or was he stripped of all the trips at Louisville?
