    Is Rick Barnes the most overrated college basketball coach???

    Think about it, with all the talent he has had at Texas his 11 years there, he has only gotten into one final 4... TJ Ford, LaMarcus Aldridge, Boobie Gibson, PJ Tucker, Kevin Durant, D.J. Augustin and there are probably more that I am forgetting off top, he has stacked teams but he never does anything of substance in the tournament. What do you guys think?

    i could see someone taking that argument, because Texas has had quite a few players go on to the NBA but I can't help but think its still a disappointment, only one final four appearance with the squads he has had, this team he has now is stacked and they are underachieving like crazy at the moment... I guess we will see what happens though

    i don't know that Barnes is overrated, in that i don't know of anyone who thinks that he's a good coach. no one does less with more.

    I don't see him as over rated, no one really ranks him high up on the coaching food chain as far as the best Xs and Os guys. Ben Howland gets my vote, how the dude is still employed is a mystery.
