Watching the Carr interview got me to thinking.

How many active coaches have won a national championship as a player?
How many active coaches have won a national championship as a coach?
How many have done both?
How many of those are at a P5 school now?

Rick Pitino and John Calipari are the other 2, although they are at different schools now

Wouldn't it be awesome if we won it all this year, giving Ky three active coaches that won the NCAAT. If that doesn't prove Kentucky makes the coach, I don't know what does.

Love Joe B, but he shouldn't be on that list. He transferred out of UK during the first semester and played at Sewanee his second semester. I don't count him as someone who has won both.

Yep...when Cal won in 2012, Pitino was at UL and Tubby was at Minnesota.

Pope is going to win a title as coach at KY. Its not a matter of "if" its just a matter of "when" and I expect it in the next 5 years. KY has everything you need to be successful if you put in the work. 5 other coaches at KY have proved it.

Wow, how could I have forgot about Pitino & Calipari

I wonder how many times the coach for both teams were on title winning teams at their alma mater? That was cool.
