Any coach down double digits, that instructs his players to fould w/1:30 left on the clock. The ultimate white flag.

that description is unmistakable: Keno Davis. will never forget the time two years ago that he had his team foul three times in the final minute, each when they were down by 12+. i missing playing Providence overs with Reno Davis.

**RoadDog** · 02-13-12, 04:09 PM

Billy Gillespie will foul you 13 times down 48 with a miniute left.

Scott Drew

**RoadDog** · 02-13-12, 04:11 PM

Anthony Grant is making a pretty strong case this year.

**BiffTFinancial** · 02-13-12, 04:23 PM

Rick Barnes is the irrefutable king of shit coaches.

others on my list: Scott Drew, Oliver Purnell, Romar, Matt Doherty, Herb Sendek, Kevin O'Neill, Darrin Horn, Billy Gillespie.

don't know that i can argue with a straight face that Calipari is one of the ten worst, but he's pretty bad given the talent that he has.

also have a relatively low opinion of Frank Martin, Ben Howland, Roy Williams.

honorable mention: Chuck Swenson, 4'10" former coach of W&M who failed to see the potential of an awkward walk-on with a sneaky jumper in 1991. his loss was the Kappa Sig intramural team's gain, i promise you.

i must be missing some - in my mind, i feel as there are at least 20 terrible coaches that i should be able to name off the top of my head.

**RoadDog** · 02-13-12, 04:25 PM

I cant believe I forgot Kevin O'Neill. What is he doing out there? How does he not recruit players? All you have to do is say, hey man look at all the hot chicks, and it doesnt hurt that we're located in southern california. Guys above 5'11 must not like those type of things.

**Duke Fan** · 02-13-12, 04:25 PM

Mike Davis,UAB.

Fyi- Anthony Grant is doing the absolute right thing with those suspensions. Weeding out some of Gottfried's hang overs. Don't care if he wins another game this year if that is what it takes to clean it up. Coming from a grad and ticket holder.

Grant is a great one to debate based upon this season, but i think that i have to disagree. that team clearly has huge chemistry/behavior problems this year. of course, that's his responsibility too, but i stop short of changing my opinion of him as a coach based upon this season.

**RoadDog** · 02-13-12, 04:27 PM

I wasnt referring to what Anthony Grant was doing with the suspensions. I was referring to the fact that he has a team absolutely loaded with talent and cant get them to play for him.

It certainly is his responsibility. When you have a team like that, that said they were so motivated to make a run this year after losing in the NIT championship game, and now they just dont give a shit, you gotta look at the coach. Also saw him grab a player by his throat a couple weeks back. He seems like a joke.

**BiffTFinancial** · 02-13-12, 04:28 PM

great call on Mike Davis. he's a trainwreck.

**Duke Fan** · 02-13-12, 04:32 PM

Alabama's problem is they can't shoot a lick. Told someone at lunch today that team could never complete a game of horse. Would take a couple of hours to finish a game of ME!

wow, alot of coaches on your shit list there Biff lol

**RoadDog** · 02-13-12, 04:34 PM

If we're talking this year only, Chris Mack is in the top 10.

**BernardMadoff** · 02-13-12, 04:36 PM

Mike Davis is a good coach, sad people bash him, has Pitino been mentioned.

**SASH** · 02-13-12, 04:37 PM

most of the pac10 coaches.....especially washingtons coach and zonas coach, both horrible. The only 2 that i like in the pac10 are howland and dawkins

**Duke Fan** · 02-13-12, 04:38 PM

I am not sad. Not my fault UAB sucks

**BernardMadoff** · 02-13-12, 04:39 PM

Grant is a good coach, you can't coach bad attitudes that have their own agenda.

**RoadDog** · 02-13-12, 04:39 PM

My nomination for #1 is turd of all turds Kevin O'Neill

Lol. That's his job.

Lol, so lack of talent means he's a bad coach?

a month ago, i would've said that Pitino is a shitty coach. i have to eat a little crow and admit that, since UL's health has improved, he has them playing excellent ball. i still think that he's overrated and not nearly what he once was (there was a time when you could argue him for top ten), but since the collapse at Marquette, they have taken a real step forward and Pitino deserves credit for that.

Who recruited the bad talent?

**BernardMadoff** · 02-13-12, 04:42 PM

Nah, he could kick them off the team though, you can't make someone play right or do something they don't want to do.

It was his job to keep that hunger they had when they lost the NIT championship game. He couldnt. Team lost a few games they shouldnt have and folded. It's his job to get them together and win. For that, he is deemed a bad coach for THIS season.

you're not giving Rick Barnes his due respect. his name should be on the trophy for worst coach. it's not easy to put multiple guys in the NBA draft every season while consistently posting double-digit losses (or challenging double digits).

**hessy1225** · 02-13-12, 04:45 PM

Scott Drew....Final Four talent but can't get it done

**HoulihansTX** · 02-13-12, 04:46 PM

Paul Hewitt, former Georgia Tech head coach. Now on a mission to run George Mason into the ground. I swear that guy had some of the most talented players @ Georgia Tech, but ran one of the shittiest offense's known to man. I used to call it the "Clogged Toilet Bowl of Motionless offense".

I guess you could blame Watson Brown. That is still why everyone says the football teams is bad too.

I disagree because who knows what he's dealing with, team is pretty young also.
