Who is the best CBB HC coach at recruiting?
- Thread starter della
- Start date
Don't be ridiculous, Barnes should really only be considered the greatest CBB mind of the modern era.
The same as James Naismith. Barnes knows it would be unfair for him to recruit Top 100 prospects, so he doesn't.
You kinda have to admire a man like that.
I admire both of you Della.The same as James Naismith. Barnes knows it would be unfair for him to recruit Top 100 prospects, so he doesn't.

# of guys in the NBA that played for coach ________ over the last 10 years answers the original question.
This is your winner right here. /thread.
I think Barnes likes flying under the radar. He will flame out in the NCAA tourney as usual. If he should win a Championship it would put too much pressure on him to win another one. He can just have a good regular season and UT will keep him the rest of his career.The same as James Naismith. Barnes knows it would be unfair for him to recruit Top 100 prospects, so he doesn't.

Is any regular on here younger than I am? I know @HRTheCard is, but I think all the rest of you are olds. Della is in here late 30's I believe.
Ask Bill Walton lol.....Kareem and many, many more... The FBI would have a field day the list...
Yea, just turned 26. No more fun birthdays left
but hey, that car insurance rate reduction. That was sweet.
You have what appears to be a great day going for you. Great days are generally started by wise decisions.
You started off with agreeing with della. (always a smart choice) Then you placed your admiration in a healthy place, you're batting 1000%.
Right now its K and Cal closely behind. Used to be Cal by a mile. The GOAT did what GOATS do, he adjusted and came back stronger.
We'll have to see how K does in his first real year without Capel's help in recruiting.

James Naismith was a poor coach. Just because he had an idea that it'd be cool to toss balls in peach baskets doesn't make him a great coach.
How in the hell do you judge recruiting ability in an era in which shoe reps are steering all the top players to their respective schools?
I said great mind and could add visionary. However, you're correct the comparison ends there in the fact Barnes has UT ranked #1 and all.
The answer is Coach K, followed somewhat closely by Coach Cal, followed by a large gap, followed by the rest of the pack.
Give me all the dirt on who is cheating so I can have an informed opinion.
Beyond that, it's still a tough call. K and Cal are obviously great recruiters but it's really not hard to recruit to Duke and Kentucky (in part to those gents accomplishments). Same with Indiana, where it is much easier to recruit than it is at Purdue. Hell, this guy was able to convince players to come play for him at IU:
I think the better question is, who are the head coaches at traditionally non-elite programs that you think don't cheat and are recruiting well above average. And no, IU fans, I don't think it's Matt Painter.

I prefer "thirty something" to what you posted....
I'm 35. Was under the impression that the average here is mid-to-late 30s. Is that within your range for "olds?"
Yes. He invented the game, nothing else. Plus all the rules have changed at the least 100 times.
I will be 73 in June, so I am "mid-age".

Kentucky never got to pay a player $100,000 in Jewelry to play at Kentucky. UK got a three year probation for $1,000, alleged.
