If it was ever in question that Katz's top-10 lists are created to generate clicks...

I'm starting to wonder if the guy's ever actually been to Blooomington? Or maybe just doesn't like IU.

He had our campus rated something like fifth best in the B1G (before the West Coast expansion), had the PU and Illinois fan bases ranked ahead of ours -- and now this ...

IU is a large fanbase that pisses off easily and will provide large amounts of clicks and interactions that line Andy and BTN’s pockets. Him doing this shows that he does understand the reality in a roundabout way. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

Pretty generous ranking honestly, considering he's ranked ahead of Shaheen Holloway, Steve Pikiell, Fred Hoiberg, and Tad Boyle. All of whom are better coaches IMO.

Dusty "No one would want him to coach IU if he wasn't a former manager" May comes in at 31? Ahead of CMW? How is this possible?

Agreed.

Just one guy's opinion apparently...

Before we get into the actual rankings, there are a few things to keep in mind. These rankings were not put together with a computer or fancy formula; it’s a unique balance of entire careers with recent results.

Yeah, which I like. We could all come up with a set of metrics to prove one coach is better than another. 

I prefer the "gut feel" of attempting to rank coaches while prioritizing their entire careers and current trajectory.

Andy Katz -- trying to stir things up again. I don't think he's going for clicks, because this is just a graphic, but he's sure trying to accomplish something. Not quite sure what, however.

This is getting absurd at this point.  LOL  Woody done pissed him off.

Wonder what he is ranking them by. Doesn't seem to be home court advantage, size, actual arena amenities, or anything else that makes sense. Guess it's just how much he likes going there. Turdue fans must give him the royal **** Vitale treatment or something!

I wonder what Phil Knight thinks of this list?  Quack, quack.

That's a really interesting move. Woj has been an outstanding commentator/analyst, didn't know he was in the hunt to manage a college team.

That was basically my first thought too when I saw the initial post.
