I don't agree that Tennessee is a better job than UCLA, especially now with UCLA joining the Big38.
Indiana not on the list at all? Yea they suck and have for a while, but still. Much more prestigious than half of that list.
Also leaving ucla off?
Credibility lacking.

Louisville way too high, coaches would rather choose Michigan over Louisville as it was evident last week.
Judging by your performance in Pick em you really don't understand cbb anymore.
No offense, but how is Arky a top 10 job?
They did just “pry” Cal away from Kentucky and are rumored to have a $6mil NIL budget.
Truthfully, UK’s fanbase is a two-edged sword. 🗡️. I could see where that variable alone can move UK both up and down the list.
I hear some of their fans can be offputting.

Yes, there is a lot more that goes into being a top job than just prestige. Arkansas has the money necessary to get shit done. It's definitely a better job than USC. Musselman took an obvious downgrade.
At least top 10. Michigan is one of the top 3 wealthiest athletic departments in the country. Historically a decent basketball program.
We have sucked ass.....but IU not being on this list is dumb as ****. Arkansas being #6 is even dumber. ANd being real here, UCONN is not a Top 5 job. People mistaken winning, with "good job."
7 jobs not on that list in the Big Ten ALONE that belong in that 10 spot more than Tennessee, IMO. And that’s no knock on Tennessee.
This is not the showing of a fan base for a Top 10 job
Quantity doesn’t mean quality, you guys just ran off the 2nd winningest coach in your history. Kentucky may be a top 5 job if it were on a 5-8 year basis, anything longer is a big hell no!
Cal's last 4 years were worse than Tubby's last 4.
There’s the passion UConn fans promised me! 🤣
They don’t deserve back to back titles…
Tennessee and Arkansas are head scratchers. Tennessee has very little history and I don’t remember the last time I’ve actually watched Arkansas play basketball.
Did those schools get a random influx of money for NIL or something?

Indiana sucking ass right now but to not be on that list is laughable.
The history, the support, the visibility, the recruiting, the facilities, the pay...good god.

I think this list is strictly about the quality of the head coaching position, not program success or prestige. UCLA isn't on there either.
Indiana HC position has opened up a couple times in recent years yet no A listers ever appear to be interested. That should tell you all you need to know about the perceived value of coaching Indiana these days.
Doesn’t help your argument that so many coaches have struggled there.
But I agree that it should be fairly high on the list, largely due to NIL.
So they could have had an A-lister but didn’t want one?
Crean and Archie were hot names and both were brought up by big programs as replacements. Woodson was a head scratcher and i blame Michigan and Juwan Howard.
your last two hires were Archie Miller and Mike Woodson. Miller came from a mid major and Woodson was a career NBA assistant. That's hardly shopping off the top shelf of the super market.
Archie was a hot name, but he was still coming from Dayton and hadn't accomplished anything other than winning A10 championships and one run to the E8 a few years before he was hired at IU. With that resume Archie deserved to move up, but moving all the way up to a supposed top 10 job is eye brow raising.
At the time it wasn't no matter how you want to spin it. I'm surprised Louisville is on there after their coaching search we all witnessed.
how many A listers were even in the running for those jobs? That's the point. IU isn't shopping at the same store as Kentucky these days.
Shhhhhh, just tell them they’re special!
(Indiana is obviously a great job, it’s just not as elite as people in that state have convinced themselves.)
UConn is on Spring break. No students on campus. Obviously you know nothing about the UConn fan base. With no professional teams in state, UConn is the only show in town. Talk to me after the parade when 50,000 fans show up to cheer our Championship team in the rain.
