NCAA Basketball: Ranking all 68 head coaches in 2021 NCAA Tournament

12. Dana Altman (Oregon)

14 NCAA Tournaments (15-14)

Long ago, Altman found success leading Marshall and Kansas State before embarking on a 16-year stretch coaching at Creighton. Since arriving at Oregon in 2010, he’s been even more successful, leading the Ducks to the Final Four back in 2017. Altman has made the Ducks into what is probably the most consistent program in a questionable Pac-12, though this past season certainly could have gone better for his Ducks.

11. Scott Drew (Baylor)

8 NCAA Tournaments (11-8)

While it’s been said many times before, it’s certainly worth repeating: the job that Drew has done at Baylor is one of the very best we’ve ever seen in college basketball. After inheriting a program broken by scandal, he’s transformed Baylor into one of the country’s best programs. He’s taken the Bears to a pair of Elite Eights and a pair of Sweet Sixteens but this year’s team might just have the talent to claim Baylor’s first Final Four in over seventy years.

10. Matt Painter (Purdue)

12 NCAA Tournaments (15-12)

While there have been ups and downs along the way, it’s fair to say that Painter has done the second-best job of coaching in the Big Ten (behind Tom Izzo) since taking over as head coach back in 2005. He had the Boilermakers on the brink of the Final Four in 2019 and also has four additional runs to the Sweet Sixteen on his resume. Painters’ squads have had great success in the Big Ten over the years and should continue to do so for years to come.

9. Bob Huggins (West Virginia)

24 NCAA Tournaments (33-24)

Everyone but the Hall of Fame voters seem to love the work Huggins has done across his long career. He’s taken both Cincinnati and West Virginia to the Final Four and has been impressive with the Mountaineers in recent years, making them one of the top programs in a tough Big 12. This is already his tenth NCAA Tournament with West Virginia; could this be another special year for his dynamic Mountaineers squad?
