RANKED: The Top 25 Men’s College Basketball Coaches Of All-Time

25. Jerry Tarkanian

“Tark the Shark” was a virtual celebrity both within the sport and in the city of Las Vegas. He took a school without much of a history (UNLV) and transformed it overnight into a total sensation. While in Vegas, Tarkanian took the Runnin’ Rebels to four Final Four appearances.

In over 30 years of coaching in college, Tarkanian accumulated a 706-198 career record. From a style of play standpoint, he really became a transcendent coach in terms of pushing tempo and really getting after the opposition. We also have to mention his proclivity for biting down on towels during periods of stress, also. It was an iconic move (to put it mildly).

24. Bob Huggins

Huggy Bear has long been a fixture in the game of basketball. Approaching his 70th birthday, Huggins has been coaching since 1977. His long tenure at Cincinnati really did put him on the map. He took a mid-major program and turned it into a very strong entity for years. Then moving to Kansas State and eventually his alma mater West Virginia, Huggins’ teams all had similar characteristics: Toughness, defensive brilliance, and physicality.

In total, Huggins had enjoyed a tremendous career. As of April 2023, Huggins has accumulated 934 victories — ranking among the top 10 all-time in career wins. Had he won a title or had a few more Final Four appearances, Huggins would rank higher on this list.

23. Jay Wright

Aside from being a snappy dresser, the now-retired head coach from the Northeast region was really ahead of the game. Wright’s Villanova teams were emblematic of basketball’s ever-changing climate. Instead of relying upon size, Wright’s teams were guard-oriented — where versatility, shooting, and quickness were prioritized. His teams may have not been the most physically imposing, but Wright’s schemes enabled the squad to dominate the pace of play with regularity.

At a small school like Villanova, Wright sustained immense success. He helped lead the Wildcats to eight Big East titles, five Big East tournament titles, 18 postseason appearances (out of a possible 19 opportunities), and two National Titles. All the while, he also developed a plethora of NBA players (including Kyle Lowry, Mikal Bridges, Jalen Brunson, Randy Foye, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo).

22. John Calipari

Calipari has his warts as a coach (ask the Kentucky fan base ready to run him out of Lexington). He may rub people the wrong way with his confidence bordering on brashness. Still, the man knows how to coach the game of basketball — evidenced by the fact he’s taken three separate programs (UMass, Memphis, Kentucky) to the Final Four (with Kentucky winning the National Title in 2012).

Despite still coaching, he’s already been inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. In terms of a legacy, you could make the argument that Calipari consistently was able to bring in the most high-end talent of any coach. There’s been a who’s who of ridiculous talent coming from underneath his coaching influence. Among them recently: Devin Booker, Anthony Davis, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, De’Aaron Fox, Julius Randle, Karl-Anthony Towns, Jamal Murray.

21. Rollie Massimino

Rollie Massimino is considered an elite coach for several reasons. First and foremost, he had a proven track record of success at both the college and professional levels. Massimino led his teams to more than 800 victories over his coaching career — including a memorable upset win in the 1985 NCAA championship game with Villanova over heavily favored Georgetown.

In addition to his coaching skills, Massimino was known for his ability to connect with his players on a personal level, earning their respect and trust. He was a master at motivating his teams and getting the best out of his players, regardless of their individual talents and abilities. Massimino was also a tireless worker, always pushing his players to improve and striving for excellence in everything he did.

20. Rick Pitino

Pitino is a flat-out great coach. Experienced in both the NBA and in college, much of his success came in the collegiate ranks. The New York native led the programs of Louisville, Kentucky, and Providence to great success (all three schools had Final Four appearance under Pitino’s stewardship).

Also a progressive coach, Pitino instituted a schematic ecosystem which was predicated upon athleticism, pressing, positional versatility, and competitiveness. He’s without a doubt a player’s coach — and it wouldn’t be shocking at all to see him turn around his current program, St. John’s. Simply put, Pitino has been a winner every place he went.

19. Denny Crum

Another coach with ties to the Bluegrass State, Crum spent 30 years (1971-2001) at the helm of the Louisville Cardinals, leading them to two NCAA championships, six Final Fours, and twelve conference titles (with a winning percentage of .696). Crum was known for his exceptional ability to recruit and develop players, and he produced numerous All-Americans and NBA stars during his career — including the likes of Pervis Ellison, Derek Smith, Felton Spencer, and Samaki Walker.

What set Crum apart from other coaches was his innovative and adaptive approach to the game. The Los Angeles native was one of the first coaches to embrace the three-point shot and the full-court press. Heavily influenced by his mentor John Wooden, Crum’s teams were known for their high-scoring offenses and aggressive defensive play, and he was able to adapt his style to suit the strengths of his players.

18. Billy Donovan

Donovan is a stone cold winner on the collegiate level. First as a point guard at Providence under Rick Pitino, and then as a head coach at both Marshall and Florida. You won’t find many guys enjoying success on both levels as a player and as the leader of a program. Once getting the Florida gig, Donovan used his personal charm to recruit at a very high level. His teams were exceptionally prepared and viciously lethal on the defensive end of the floor.

Utilizing a ridiculous core featuring future NBA players Al Horford, Joakim Noah and Corey Brewer, the Gators won back-to-back National Titles. At Florida alone, he accrued a .715 winning percentage spread out over 19 years. Unsurprisingly, he dominated the SEC during this period.

17. John Thompson

Most coaches fall under one of two categories: Either being a player’s coach — or being a tactician. It’s not common to see the leader of a program possessing both a personality players rally around, in addition to having the acumen of a strategist at the highest level. Thompson had both traits completely covered. He was a supremely smart coach — where his teams always were prepared to compete. Not only that, but the players he recruited to school absolutely loved him.

During the height of the Big East being College Basketball’s premier conference, Thompson had Georgetown sitting atop the proverbial totem pole. The Hoyas won six Big East Tournament titles, five Big East regular season titles, made three Final Four appearances, and came away winning a National Title in 1983. In the process, Thompson helped develop the likes of Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing, and Allen Iverson (among others).

15. Jim Phelan

Phelan deserves a ton of respect for what he did at the Division II level. He coached at Mount St. Mary’s for a whopping 49 years. Phelan amassed an incredible 830 wins, ranking him among the top 20 winningest coaches in NCAA history. However, it’s not just his win-loss record that sets him apart. Phelan’s coaching style was characterized by his relentless work ethic, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to his players.

He was known for his ability to develop players both on and off the court — instilling in them a sense of discipline, teamwork, and selflessness that served them well throughout their lives. Phelan’s contributions to the game of basketball extend far beyond his impressive record, as he has left an indelible mark on his players, his university, and the sport as a whole.

14. Eddie Sutton

The Bible Belt became all too familiar with Eddie Sutton. Jumping from Creighton to Kentucky to Arkansas and eventually to Oklahoma State, Sutton was a major fixture and icon across the Southwest and into the Southern portion of the United States.

We must look at Sutton and praise him for being able to build sustained programs. He was an embodiment of consistency. For example, form 1977-2005, Sutton-led teams missed the NCAA Tournament only twice. Sutton never won a title despite making three Final Four appearances. It’s probably the biggest ‘knock’ against him ranking higher on many lists.

13. Phog Allen

The cradle of basketball civilization within the U.S. hails from the great state of Kansas. Phog Allen knows all about the growth of the sport here. He was a pioneer in teaching the game of basketball at an exceptionally high level. Among his various stops as a head coach, he made a name for himself at the University of Kansas. In nearly 40 years of coaching in Lawrence, he won three National Championships and 24 Conference titles.

When speaking of the impact he had at KU, the current basketball stadium — Allen Fieldhouse — is named in his honor. Most people to this day still refer to it as ‘Phog Allen’.

12. Lute Olsen

Lute Olson is a GOD in Tucson, Arizona. He began his coaching career mostly on the West Coast — at Southern California high schools and eventually Long Beach State. After a 10-year spell at Iowa, he made the leap back West to a program in need of some help. Even with UCLA garnering the press clippings as the ‘premier’ program on the West Coast, Arizona under Olson proved to be a dominant entity.

Not only did Olson win 11 conference titles in Tucson, but he also took the Wildcats to four Final Fours — ultimately winning the National Title in 1997. As of 2023, it’s the last time the Pac-12 has won a National Championship in College Basketball. Olson’s legacy still lives on today, as he was essentially responsible for building the strong basketball brand currently embedded within the university.

11. Henry Iba

Growing up in Missouri, Iba was instilled with toughness and work ethic. These two principles were woven into the fabric of every team he ever coached. Starting as a high school coach in Oklahoma, Iba eventually made the leap to the college game. It was at Oklahoma State where Iba’s influence truly popped from a national standpoint. Later on, his influence as a coach/mentor led to some truly brilliant minds emanating from his coaching tree. Among them, Bobby Knight, Doug Collins, Larry Brown, and Eddie Sutton.

From 1934-70, he coached at the school. During this time for a spell, Iba was also the baseball coach AND the Athletic Director. As a basketball coach solely, his heavy emphasis on the defensive end of the floor led to crazy success. Iba won back-to-back National Titles in addition to making four Final Four appearances. For good measure, he also was the head coach of the Men’s Olympic team on three separate occasions. Two trips resulted in Gold Medals, and the other a Silver.

10. Tom Izzo

Izzo is a wonderful coach. He gets the most out of his players. While there are times where he can recruit the ballyhooed 5-star guys, much of his success has come from taking gritty, under-the-radar, multi-year program guys and turning them into NBA players. Izzo demands energy on the defensive floor, and this mindset has rubbed off terrifically well on this program. You don’t think about Michigan State basketball without first drawing the adjectives ‘toughness’ and ‘competitiveness’.

In addition to one National Title, Izzo has accumulated 8 Final Fours, 10 Big Ten regular season titles, and six Big Ten Tournament titles. At 68 years of age, there’s still plenty left for him to accomplish.

9. Jim Calhoun

UCONN basketball is creeping up on the standing as a ‘blue blood’ program. In large part, that’s thanks to Jim Calhoun. His impressive career spanned over four decades, during which he led Connecticut to three National Championships (all while notching a .720 win percentage from 1986-2012). Calhoun also accumulated 917 total wins on the collegiate level.

He was known for his ability to develop players both on and off the court, instilling in them a sense of discipline, teamwork, and a winning mentality. Calhoun’s leadership style was characterized by his intensity, passion, and unwavering dedication to his players — which earned him the respect and admiration of his players and peers alike.

8. Bill Self

By the time his coaching career ends, there’s a world in which Self climbs within the top five of this list. He’s often underappreciated by many who fail to see the genius in his coaching style. Self’s offensive scheme is both sophisticated and ever evolving. Kansas teams under Self share the basketball, and resemble the modern game as constituted for any given era.

One cannot argue with his consistency, either. Under his guidance, Kansas has won 17 of the last 20 Big 12 conference titles. This also includes nine conference tournament titles and two national titles. Without a doubt, he’s a master at blending high-end talent with three-to-four year program guys.

7. Jim Boeheim

For 47 years, Jim Boeheim built the powerhouse basketball program in upstate New York. Along the way, he transformed the Orange into a Big East giant. In total, the New York native has won 1,015 games as the head coach. This includes 10 Big East regular season titles, four Final Four appearances, and a 2003 National Title led by none other than a freshman Carmelo Anthony.

As the cherry on top of his career, he was also the assistant coach for three U.S. Gold Medal winning Olympic squads. Making this entire career even more special for Boeheim, the Hall of Famer was able to achieve this greatness at his alma mater (where he was once a guard).

6. Roy Williams

Roy Williams often gets the reputation as being a jovial, nice guy with a North Carolina twang. In fact, all of these statements are true. However, he’s also an exceptionally good basketball coach as evidenced by his stops in Lawrence and Chapel Hill.

Taking over at Kansas with his first ever head coaching gig, Williams led the Jayhawks to nine Conference Titles, four Final Four appearances, 14-straight NCAA Tournament bids, and two National Championship appearances. From there, he was pegged to replace Dean Smith at his alma mater. At Carolina, all he did was churn out players to the NBA with regularity. He also happened to lead the university to three National Championships in 18 years.

5. Dean Smith

Dean Smith put North Carolina squarely on the map. Ironically, he was a player at Kansas for Phog Allen before forging his own path down south. He was the head coach at North Carolina from 1961-1997. During this time, he not only built the program into a national power — but he also coached the best basketball player in the history of the sport (shown above — you all already know his name).

From an accolades standpoint, the Tar Heels won two National Titles with Smith as the head coach. Perhaps equally as impressive, UNC had 11 Final Four appearances under Smith’s guidance. He also managed to win 17 ACC titles for good measure. He preached the values in having his squads play with pace, unselfishness, and camaraderie.

4. Adolph Rupp

As one can see in the image above, the University of Kentucky will forever be grateful for the coaching brilliance of one Adolph Rupp. He coached the University of Kentucky’s men’s basketball team for over four decades, leading them to four national championships, six Final Four appearances, and 27 SEC titles. Rupp’s success as a coach can be attributed to his exceptional leadership skills, ability to recruit top talent, and innovative strategies on the court (such as employing different types of trapping matchup zone coverages).

He was known for his strict discipline, attention to detail, and relentless pursuit of perfection (among other things). His legacy as a great coach is further cemented by the numerous players he mentored who went on to have successful careers in the NBA.

3. Bobby Knight

You may know Bob Knight for the intense bordering on psychotic behavior from the sidelines. We’ve all seen the chair throw — and the explosive rants aimed at players and referees alike. Still, when it comes to Indiana royalty, Bob Knight is the leader in the proverbial clubhouse.

He won over 900 games as a college coach — mostly at Indiana with stops at Texas Tech and Army. With a military background, he was demanding of his players. As such, it wasn’t a surprise to see his teams play with immense discipline. He was also a master strategist, known for making quick and effective adjustments during games to exploit his opponent’s weaknesses. Knight’s players respected him for his dedication to their success on and off the court, and many of them went on to have successful careers in the NBA (such as Isiah Thomas).

2. Mike Krzyzewski

In the modern era, Coach K makes a case to be the best head coach of all-time when it comes to college basketball. Forever will Duke and Krzyzewski be synonymous with one another. The Chicago native learned a whole lot from his time playing/coaching under Bob Knight. When he got the Duke job, things fell into place.

NBA prospects from all over were flocking to this private school in North Carolina. Simply put, Krzyzewski made it a destination. A winner of five National Championships, Coach K also has notched 13 Final Four appearances, 13 ACC regular season titles, 15 ACC tournament titles, three Gold Medals as the U.S. Men’s Head Basketball Coach, and a total of 1,202 wins (most all-time by a college coach).

1. John Wooden

We measure greatness based on titles.

What John Wooden did at UCLA will never be replicated (go look at who played under him).

All of this East Coast media driven ‘talk’ about Coach K leapfrogging over Wooden is utter nonsense. Wooden’s impact on the game — both on and off the court — is unparalleled with anyone else when it comes to the sport of college basketball.
