Bill Self and Bob Huggins are Bill Self and Bob Huggins.
Chris Beard is one of the hottest names in coaching and coming off a national championship appearance.
Bruce Weber has an Elite Eight and a conference regular season title in the last two years.
Lon Kruger has a Final Four in the last four years, plus he's Lon Kruger.
Jamie Dixon has built TCU into a program that isn't embarrassing (when they were the Rutgers football of college hoops not too long ago) and also has an Elite Eight on his resume.
Scott Drew has two Elite Eights and Baylor is always formidable.
Then you have Shaka Smart and Mike Boynton. Boynton just signed the #2 player in the country. Shaka hasn't been great at Texas but he has a Final Four.
Steve Prohm... is not near the top of this list. Even if you like Prohm, I don't think you can put him in the top half. He's 8th at best right now. (By the way, this list isn't in order; Drew would be higher than 7th on my list.)
