Who's the ACC's Best (and Worst) Tournament Coach

Posted Mar 24, 2014
Clearly, Roy Williams, Coach K, and Rick Pitino, are in a class by themselves. Having coached at blue blood programs means higher seeds each year, increasing the odds of accumulating a lot of points. To try to adjust for that, we weighted wins based on the seed beaten. A win over a 16 seed earns a team one point, over a 15-seed earns 2, and so on up to a 16-point jackpot for beating a one-seed.
