Using Either Street/Smith Or ESPN Methodology, Cal Is Nation's Best 2006-15

[dlh331]

I can post the numbers for any coach but using either of those very fair rating systems, Cal is #1 by a mile. A list of his accomplishments from 2006-15 (including his "vacated 2008 season)

327-52 for 86.3%
7 Regular Season Titles
7 Conference Tourney Titles
7 Final AP Top 10 Seasons
2 Final AP #1 Finishes
5 NCAA Tourney #1 Seeds
9 NCAA Tourney Appearances
9 Sweet 16s
8 Elite 8s (Remarkable, really)
5 Final 4s
3 Title Games
1 NCAA Title
35-8 for 81.4% in those pressure packed NCAA Tourney Wins
55-25 vs AP Ranked Teams

As I said, it simply is not close who is the most accomplished coach in the nation the last decade.

That makes Cal's record look even more incredible, considering he was at a mid-major for so many of those years. Thanks for posting this.

Also, you can just kindly help yourself and add some more asterisks to William's record. You could also add a couple to K's record too, if the NCAA had ever bothered to actually investigate Magette and Lance.

Also to add.

2013-Injury to Noel, crazy Harrow, and WCS also injured.
2014-Injury to WCS, and Randle (leg?)
2015-Injury to Poythress, Lyles missed 2 games,

A lot of freaking injuries the past three years. :-/ Haven't been very lucky with health. Please let's have 3 straight years of fully healthy team!

Didn't Boeheim just have a quarter of his career vacated or something?
But yeah, Cal was at a mid-major for many of those years, so that's pretty impressive. But then again, the OP did say since 2006. Not sure where you come up with 2000, think I have a pretty good idea though.

Why didn't you include the total won-lost records and the tourney records for each coach?

Impressive, I'll take our coach over any of these others
