I'd be interested in hearing everyone's in order top 5 coaches in college basketball since Cal became head coach at UK. Obviously include Cal in your list.

Ended up about even this past trip. Seems like there is always some beginner that invariably sits on 3rd base and draws the ire of the table with some stupid hit that pulls the dealers bust card. Honestly thought the guy next to me was gonna get thrown out at Caesars. Dude was livid. Just rode the poor bastard until he eventually left. Was pretty damn funny.
Speaking of hating someone so much that you block it out, Jim Calhoun has to be on that list.
He's done now, but he sure as hell stole two titles from us during that stretch.
One title is Calhoun's while Cal was here. Brad Stevens did a helluva job at Butler so he's somewhere very close.Speaking of hating someone so much that you block it out, Jim Calhoun has to be on that list.

xman being a casino dbag and posturing like he's some sort of high rolling card shark pro was incredibly predictable.

You're at a casino on the strip. Couldn't find more green players if you went to a blackjack 101 class. If you don't like it, only 10,000 other tables within 2 miles. Douche.
This is touching KSR redneck caller closet card fan touchboi ******** is what this is.Pitino has done more with less than any of them. Cal has done less with more.
Forget Izzo and Self, or whoever else (Ryan, Calhoun, etc.), it's Cal, K, and Pitino as the Top 3, and it's not really debatable. Pitino has done more with less than any of them. Cal has done less with more. K has done what he does, despite Chad's objections. Cal should have at least 2 titles in his 7 years, probably 3. The way it's worked out, he could easily have 4. We're like the 90s Braves.
I love Calipari. I think he'll end up right behind next to Rupp as the greatest UK coach in history. He should have at least 2 titles by now though, and arguably 3-4. He's probably a victim of his own success, but his coaching lost the game last season to Wisconsin, no other way around it. And his coaching and inability to figure out WVU's zone cost us a for sure title in 2010. I'll give on the 2011 and 2014 titles b/c both were amazing runs, but the titles were there for the taking and we didn't get it done. 2010 and 2015 hurt. Should've racked at least 1 of those 2 seasons.
Now, he should have 3-4 titles.
Horse *****.
I said at least 2 titles, and possibly 3-4 (the way things played out). There is a difference. He's had the best team in 2010, 2012, and 2015.
Serious question: Are we just counting on-the-court success? I was factoring off-the-court stuff and the fact that Louisville is probably about to get carpet-bombed with sanctions into my list. It's not Pitino's fault, but it's happened throughout the time-frame being discussed. If we're not counting that stuff then absolutely. I had Pitino at #3 and then thought about the current state of each program and accounted for that. Not trying to be a homer. Pitino has coached his *** off over the last 5 years.[eyeroll] at leaving Pitino off any list during that timeframe, arguably the best "coaching" of his entire career, in fact.
GYERO is better than that, except for Bristol and probably Chad.
Get real.

^ this is close, could definitely argue Cal overall (Final 4s, recruiting, contending EVERY year but 1), but hard to argue against 2 titles, even if the rest has been marginal.
