Looking at current D1 coaches, you got a few current HOF coaches:
*Rick Pitino - inducted in 2013
*John Calipari - inducted in 2015
*Bill Self - inducted in 2017
*Tom Izzo - inducted in 2016
I think you add Dan Hurley to that list, eventually. As well as Mark Few at Gonzaga.
Yes or No, Hall of Fame for these coaches
*Kelvin Sampson (Houston)
*Rick Barnes (Tennessee)
*Bruce Pearl (Auburn)
*Tony Bennett (Virginia - retired)
*Scott Drew (Baylor)
*Dana Altman (Oregon)
Surprised Billy Donovan took that long to get inducted.
2 National Championships. (502-206) record in college
Left college & went to NBA in 2015.
Other recent Inductees: Bo Ryan, Gene Keady, Bob Huggins, Jay Wright, Eddie Sutton, Lefty Driesell, Gary Williams, Nolan Richardson
Yes and the longer he coaches the more of a sure fire yes he becomes. Distance from his scandal and more wins really helping his case.
Only one of those I’m not sure of is Altman.
Dana Altman has 780 career D1 wins
Only 1 Final Four.
Yeah, he’ll likely get in. I just wasn’t completely sure with him because he hasn’t won a championship or been to more than one Final Four. But that’s a lot of wins.
