1987 had Bob Knight, Jim Boeheim, Rick Pitino and Jerry Tarkanian. Was that the best Final Foursome in tourney history?
Best Coaching Final Foursome ever
- Thread starter FurdTurgason
- Start date
2012 had Cal, Pitino, Self and Matta.
'78 had Hall, Digger, Sutton and Foster
'75 had Wooten, Hall, Crum and Danforth
'86 had Crum, K, Brown and Brown
Those just off the top of my head. I'm sure there's many more impressive. Any FF with Rupp in it is going to be top 10.

Digger should never show up on any best coaching list.
I guess 3 of the 4 anyway. Boeheim is a poor man's Calipari, Calipari Boeheim on steroids.
That guy's personality suited him well for the profession though. Essentially a man that should have been fired decades before he was but was somehow able to convince Syracuse they'd be lunatics to even suggest removing him after his usual .550 or worse records. Guy absolutely lived off of his 1980 persona and Carmelo Anthony while being pretty terrible. " I would never coach at Kentucky" ******** was hilarious. We had a Beoheim, and Tubby was ran out after a decade of almost, Jim. You'd never be asked.

Their fans are worse. We ran into them about 12 years ago traveling with the team. Compliance had to keep them away from the team and actually implemented rules in the future because of the experience.
hey folks. Just checking in. Slow day at work, but a beautiful morning in the east. Hope all is well.
My older brother traveled to multiple final fours; he always felt UConn fans were the absolute worst he ever saw; Syracuse was number two
Digger did a pretty good job at ND. Who else has taken them to a FF? Ended UCLA’s win streak too.
What did he do overall with the talent he had arguably as good if not better than anyone.Had like four NBA players on team and did nothing in NCAA tournament.With the talent each coach had I don't know who choked the most him or Dean Smith.
I don't doubt it for a second. Northeastern douchebags always with the mouth. No substance, not gonna do sht but run it and act like a jackass all day.
Hard to defend Digger but he did take ND to their only FF in their history. And they haven't been since. While looking to see if that was their only FF I saw that Digger took Fordham to the sweet sixteen in 1970 or so. That seems like a good thing too. I was at the '78 FF. It didn't seem like ND put up much of a fight against dUKe. We had a very tough game against Arkansas.
Diggers talent back in the day at ND was second to none I just didn't think he did much with the talent he had,now he did pull some upsets but couldn't continue with the rest of the season.
What Final Foursome coaches have the most championships or final fours among them? Probably need to do one with Wooden and without.
