Calipari > Donovan?? Are you nuts? Billy has more titles and none of his wins were vacated. Cal is good at buying players but that's about it. He's one of the worst in game coaches in basketball (Kansas - Mario Chalmers say's hello).

Donovan has coached up lesser players and have made them play together as a team. Who has Cal coached up to be better players? Most of Cal's players were already superstars and really didn't improve under his tutelage. Donovan took many guys and made them better prepared for the NBA... David Lee, Mike Miller, Udonis Haslem, Jayson Williams, Mareese Speights, Corey Brewer, Joakim Noah, Al Horford, Chandler Parsons to name a few. These guys come to the NBA with a high IQ playing under Donovan. Cal's players still can't shoot free throws.

The 2006 UF team that repeated back to back titles may have been one of the best ever. They ran through 2 NCAA tournaments and beat every team but 1 by double digits. When has that ever happened, especially when you had a bulls eye on your back. Donovan is a much better coach than Cal. How is that even debatable?
