SEC Basketball: Ranking all 14 head coaches for 2019-20 season

SEC Basketball is full of talented head coaches, but how do they compare against each other? Let’s run through them and rank them for next season.

It’s pretty wild how drastically things can change in college basketball over the course of a few seasons. Sure, similar Blue Bloods will almost always be in contention, but a few years can completely change the trajectory of a program. They’ll have an entirely new batch of players, something every team needs to deal with on a regular basis. One thing that changes far less is a program’s head coach.

For SEC Basketball, this is abundantly clear when you consider recent history. It seems like just yesterday this was a conference dominated by Florida and Kentucky, though a plethora of teams has bounced back in a major way in recent years. You won’t find Adolf Rupp, Joe B. Hall, or Billy Donovan on the sidelines, but the slate of coaches in this conference might be as impressive as it’s ever been.

What we’re going to do is to rank all fourteen coaches in this conference. We aren’t ranking the teams by any means, nor are we taking into account how these programs will fare for next season. For each coach, we’ll run through some background and historical information, while also touching upon what to expect going forward from these coaches. They are ranked based on their prowess and accomplishments, though a coach with more experience might not necessarily be ranked higher than a younger coach.

One final thing to keep in mind is that this is a power conference league with some very talented coaches. Even the coaches at the very bottom of this list are successful and skilled coaches. They would do incredible things in other conferences and should continue to bring promising results to their SEC teams. Without wasting any more time, let’s get into ranking these head coaches from the bottom to the top.
