With the announcement of the imminent retirement of Coach K, I thought I would pose the question of who are the four greatest college basketball coaches of all time? I think John Wooden and Mike Krzyzewski are no-brainers for our new monument but maybe I'm wrong. What say you guys?

K was the hardest to put because you have Rupp Crumm Knight McQuire (Frank), Thompson, and many many others

Jim Calhoun

He actually deserves serious consideration. What he did at UCONN is nothing short of miraculous.

Wooden (with a little help from Sam Gilbert), K (5 national titles spanning 3 different decades), Calhoun (3 national titles at UConn is grossly underrated), Pitino (Final Four at 3 different schools, national title at 2 of them)

This would be my 4, but Rupp and Iba would be very close behind.

Naismith--he only invented the game and coached it.
Wooden.
Phog Allen.
Krchcekski or however you spell it.

Knight and Rupp don't make the cut because of them being jerks (Knight) and racist (Rupp).
