Can't complain with this. It's very difficult to do answer a question like this, but that list is about as close to accurate as one can be...

Using your list as a template, I'll do a plus/minus to show the general range most would put them at...


John Wooden (-2)
Dean Smith (+1/-2)
Mike Krzyzewski (+2/-1)
Bob Knight (+3/-2)
Lute Olson (+1/-3)
Phog Allen (+2/-2)
Adolph Rupp (+2/-1)
Henry Iba (+1/-2)
Jim Calhoun (+2/-4)
Don Haskins (+1/-4)
just missing
Tom Izzo (+2/-3)
Roy Williams (+3/-1)
John Thompson (+2/-2)
I'll add
Larry Brown (+5/-1)
Jerry Tarkanian (+3/-2)
Close, but not quite
Rick Patino (+3/-2)
Jim Boeheim (+2/-3)

For example, take Roy Williams, the +3 means according to some he could rise as high as five spaces, while the -2 means he could slip as far as two.

For me, I really like you original.
