I was just looking at Coach K's coaching tree and was kinda underwhelmed. I guess Brey is the star of this group. The rest, meh.

Nine of Krzyzewski's players and assistant coaches have become head coaches at other schools:
Tommy Amaker: Seton Hall (1997–2001), Michigan (2001–2007), Harvard (2007–present)
Bob Bender: Washington (1993–2002)
Mike Brey: Delaware (1995–2000), Notre Dame (2000–present)
Jeff Capel: VCU (2002–2006), Oklahoma (2006–2011)
Johnny Dawkins: Stanford (2008–present)
Mike Dement: UNC Greensboro (1991–1995, 2005–2011), SMU (1995–2004)
David Henderson: Delaware (2000–2006)
Tim O'Toole: Fairfield (1998–2006)
Quin Snyder: Missouri (1999–2006), NBDL Austin Toros (2007–2010)

Anyway, would love to hear thoughts on others. I know Boehiem and Pitino have really good ones and Pete Gillen has a surprisingly strong tree.

Here's a very dated article to facilitate: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/story/7055284
 
 
Herb Sendek's coaching tree is impressive:

Herb Sendek has one of the largest coaching trees in all of college basketball. Below is a list of former Sendek assistants:

Charlie Coles (Miami University (Ohio))
Jim Christian (TCU)
John Groce (Ohio)
Larry Hunter (Western Carolina)
Mark Phelps (Drake)
Ron Hunter (IUPUI)

Johnny Dawkins will be a star coach at Duke when K retires IMO.

He hasn't been that great at Stanford. I wouldn't mind if they went outside the ranks once K leaves. Brad Stevens at Butler is who I want, but it will likely be Dawkins or Brey. Collins is pretty close to his way out for a smaller hc job.
