Good coaches don't go into broadcasting at his age. They are still coaching.


Ridiculous statement. Bill Walsh broadcasted when he could have still been coaching. Bill Cowher. Eddie Fogler. I am sure I could think of some more.

Some guys get tired of it.

I honestly can not believe how many people on the board really believe Gundy is a great coach. Comparing him to Cower is just flat out dumb. Cower quit coaching he was not canned like Gundy. After this NBA season there is sure to be some good coaching jobs open so we will revisit this later. God one comment can get a whole thread derailed.

I will never, ever, ever forget the one Green-coached UT team ('99?) that choked away a trip to the Elite 8 by blowing an 8-point lead in the last 3 minutes to North Carolina. I'm pretty sure I didn't sleep that night. But the talent was definitely there, just the wrong general leading the troops. Perhaps a better coach could have helped Vincent Yarbrough, who had all the talent in the world, realize his potential instead of being the lazy, half-assed played he was.

It's easy to "blow" an 8-point lead in the last 3 minutes of a college basketball game. Happens all the time. I wouldn't call it a choke, but it does suck.

Here's what I was able to find. (I don't have a link, but maybe Hatvol can confirm this as I'm sure he'd be able to at least pretend he knows)

Highest Winning Percentage, Active Coaches (minimum 5 years)*

80.7.....Roy Williams..........560-134
79.7.....Mark Few..............236-60
78.5.....Bruce Pearl...........394-108
77.3.....Bo Ryan...............556-163
76.7.....Jamie Dixon............132-40

*start of 2008-2009 season. (I'll leave it to someone else to do the legwork on how these numbers have changed this year.

btw, Krzyzewski has the highest active win percentage in the NCAA tournament, Donovan is 2nd, Pitino is third.
