Lane Kiffin at number 4 in the top coaches under 40 is a joke. I don't think he has done very much at all and now he is in a place where recruits just fall into your lap. I would rather wait a couple years to evaluate how good of a coach he really is.
My top 3 for basketball:
1. Coach K
2. Izzo
3. Self
For those who don't want to give Athlon any traffic...

Two Elite Eights in the last three years, at a mediocre job. ISU has two Elite Eights in its entire history.Quote:

Im just saying he may be a phenomenal recruiter but when it comes to in game coaching, Fred blows him away. That said i still think he's a good coach.Quote:

I think that says more about his recruiting abilities than coaching.Quote:

Well ya but I was talking more about the X's and O's part of coaching.Quote:

Also, ouch--what a slap in the face to Travis Ford and Gillispie to have the TCU basketball coach rated higher than them.
