Top 10 Worst College Coaches

[BiffTFinancial]

Phil martelli

i really would like to hear an explanation from that a**hole as to why he wouldn't release Todd O'Brien to play for UAB. coaching merits (or lack thereof) aside, what a miserable human being.

Paul Hewitt! how did i miss that guy? he is bottom ten, no question.

[Duke Fan]

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".

That is a good one. Techs problem was always the "one and dones". Hard to build in that scenario

[BernardMadoff]

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

Brown was horrible, was at UAB 6 years too long.

comparison of this thread to the top ten thread is the perfect characterization of SBR in a nutshell. the top ten thread has been around since this morning and seen some activity. the bottom ten thread has been around for an hour, is already on page two and will pass the top ten thread in views any second now. hilarious.

Yea what a selfish coach, ironic that he's the head of the ethics committee.

Haha such a debacle in which martelli let his ego take control. Todd Obrien might possibly be one of the worst college basketball players in the nation and any coach would be glad to send him on his way. A bad relationship between the two along with some bad off the court behavior by Obrien caused martelli to act that way. Even if he knew he was wrong in the situation, which he was, hes such an egotistical prick stuck in his 2004 glory days he wouldn't let the biggest joke of a center in college hoops leave his program because he felt he didn't deserve to. difficult situation , however, not the reason he's on my shit list.

Short and simple, he's over the hill and past his prime by far. The amount of talent the hawks have is ridiculous. Just a few things ive noticed are they have no set offense (literally zero- maybe a weave up top which leads to one of the guards 1 on 1), they don't play defense and they are terrible at taking advantage of mismatches. With so much talent, it's sad to see St. Joes possibly missing the tourney this season. Martelli has up until the end of the Langston Galloway, Cj Aiken era to improve. If not, he's probably gone. I could ramble all day, but what can you do?

great post, well-said, ayo.

Rick Barnes by far gives you the least bang for your buck in regards to utilizing talent.

negativity runs rampart, as we re-live all of the lost bets b/c of various coaching blunders.

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.

Calipari being a bad coach is one of the biggest misconceptions out there, I guess because the guy hasn't won a title with the talent he has had everyone just thinks he rolls the ball out there and lets his guys do whatever they want. Couldnt be further from the truth. He has had teams that should have probably won the title but for one reason or another they have not. Takes a lot of things to go your way to win a title now days and the best team doesn't always win it.

He is more than just a great recruiter. Look at the defense his teams play, it's not easy getting all these studs to buy in on the defensive end but he gets them too and they play defense as good as anyone in the country. I liked him before he came to UK but now that I watch every game he coaches in Ive noticed he runs some very nice offensive sets and some really nice out of bounds plays as well. Everyone thinks his players just dribble around and do whatever they want on offense and sometimes when they are struggling thats exactly what it looks like. But when his teams get going offensively they run some really nice half court sets that result in open looks from 3 or easy buckets around the rim. This year's team has been able to win in any type of setting that they have played, fast or slow tempo, man or zone his team gets the job done.

The only people who think he is a terrible coach are the ones who are biased against him for one of many reasons or are just dont know what they are talking about.

what about the fact that he has left every school in shambles after he leaves .... hindered with ncaa violations and he goes unpunished.... now at uk he wont have to cheat in recruiting because the school sells itself but come on man the dude is a straight up cheat who slides

[bkbk1021]

I know we live in a world of what have you done lately but coach Drew took a program that wasnt rock bottom but under the rock and has made national attention. He lost to Duke the one year in tourney that went on to win the National Title. With some key loses the next year they werent as strong. They have had a good year this year with basically a new backcourt. Lets face it PJIII hasnt been very good. I think there is plenty of schools who would love to have a coach Drew. Like Illinois would be one of them. Weber in my opinion is a good mid major coach but a basketball school like Illinois and its rich tradition to be on the bubble year in and year out is insane. With the new ad at Illinois and them axing the football coach makes me think that Weber is on the hot seat. You look at the past history and Illinois starts off good and then plays there way to a bubble team.

Name me one thing he has done that to **** those schools over? Did he pay Marcus Camby money and get him hookers? At Memphis he played a player who was ruled eligible and then after his career was over ruled ineligible. Any coach in America would have played Rose that year and honestly Memphis got a raw deal on that one. Plus I dont think he ran from either situation, he just happened to be offered a better job right after both of those situations. If UK didnt come calling Cal would still be at Memphis today. NCAA says he was not at fault in either situation, just 2 of his players made bad decisions and the 2 schools paid for it.

[EaglesPhan36]

1. Scott Drew
2. Roy Williams
3. Rick Barnes

You put any of those guys into a Mid-Major program with some decent talent and I bet they couldn't get that team into the tournament like a George Mason, etc. Guys recruit their balls off, but mostly can't do dick for Xs and Os. Any coach worth a shit with the talent Roy Williams had would be unbeaten and killing teams left and right. Ditto for Baylor IMO. Top notch talent, low quality structure from the coach.

[Inkwell77]

Herb Sendek has been about as bad as you can be from an ats record these past 3 years. Unbelievable how terrible his ats record is. I am pretty sure he is leading that stat for the past 3 seasons

12-17 ats in 2009-2010
10-18 ats in 2010-2011
6-19 ats this year

28-54 ats in his last 3 years!

HOW THE HELL DOES THIS GUY HAVE A JOB?
