	@OldSmoker Lefty Driesell made Maryland basketball a prime time team before Gary got there. I have no problem with him being there.

	surprised that Depaul & Coach Meyer aren't on the list

	OldSmoker: The court may be named after Sutton, but the whole BUILDING is named after Iba. He was a far more prominent coach than Sutton was. For those wondering, I didn't list current coaches because I didn't want to make the quiz quite that easy. I wanted it to be more than a "do you know the current coach of this team?" quiz. So I listed past coaches except in cases where naming the current guy was absolutely unavoidable (Coach K, Calhoun, Boeheim).

	I have a huge problem with this list. You mean to tell me that teams like Princeton, St John's, Penn are ranked higher in terms of what they did in the distant past and UConn is put on a pedestal because of their recent success, and yet Michigan State which as 7 Final Fours including one in the 50's, one in the 70's, one in the 90's and 4 in the 00's is ranked below these teams? That's absurd!

	I don't mean to tell you that. Street & Smith's magazine means to tell you that. I don't agree with everything on the list either. (Wyoming over DePaul and Memphis seems rather silly.)

	How is Maryland so low? Seriously, Utah is 14 programs higher? Arkansas is WAY too high. Terps should be like 20.

	Kansas State is way too high. As is Okst. Street and Smith is just wrong
