I might give you Pitino, but I don't want to hear about Roy Williams with the amount of talent he can get to Chapel Hill. Same thing for Cal at UK. He's had boatloads of talent via mostly dirty tricks and some pretty suave recruiting abilities paired with the UK brand, and has he really accomplished much more?

No doubt, but some schools are inherently much easier to recruit at

It is. Judging a team/coach solely by titles under this system is absurd

I'd say he's in the top 5 active elite. Id like to see your list of coaches better than Izzo.
Again, who frequently refers to him as THE best? :shrug:

Pitino only has 2 titles. He only had 1 final 4 before getting suitcases full of booster money from UK and stripper money from UL boosters.

Cal could barely beat Huggins before moving to UK's big pockets.

UK needs a true, physical big man so bad. Have not really had one since Cousins

Yeah and he get panned for it.

Disagree. Plus, Izzo's teams frequently get curbed stomped in these big situations. Izzo is good, not great. Great coaches win titles.

No sane person would take Roy Williams over Tom Izzo. A blind man would have at least two titles if they coached at UNC and Kansas for 28 years.

I find it odd that someone would consider Cal and Petino to be great, but not Izzo. To each their own I guess.
Tom Izzo has probably done as good a job as anybody at getting the most out of his talent over his tenure at Michigan State.

Cal ? 1 title in 6 final fours loaded with talent. 2 Final fours vacated.

Well, pboy actively lobbies for Elder to bend rules to recruit more cps/public school athletes, so it should shock anyone he loves win at all costs, if you ain't cheating you aren't trying coaches and programs.

He's actually won his FF games, and when he loses his teams don't get blasted.

Shouldn't shock anyone you're uninformed and define success based more on emotion than fact.

Cal is 4-5 in final four games. Izzo is 3-6.
Pitino is 5-5.

It seems like for every Providence game I've watched this year, Dunn and Bentil are in foul trouble. Really hurts them on defense.

Izzo's a great coach. That stat proves it. Even compared against the dirtiest, his record is very respectable.
