23. Shaka Smart, Marquette
It didn’t take long for Shaka Smart to reestablish himself at Marquette. After a “disappointing” tenure with the Longhorns, Smart is back to doing what he does best — getting the most out of an underdog program. While Marquette had enjoyed previous success under Tom Crean and Buzz Williams, this is a program that had just two NCAA tournament appearances in the previous eight seasons. In just one year patrolling the sidelines, Smart led his new team to a 19-13 record and a 9-seed in the East region.
