You've got 3:59 left in a tie game for the title...

BCG baby. Nobody else has the stones to have his guys block a FT.
We'll need to remind Kansas fans that we mean "NCAA title".
Coach K,he can bitch at the officials for 3 minutes and 50 seconds and make it a 9 second game,he will probably get a favorable call just to shut him up.
I've already thought about this myself. He's probably the right choice. He can't lose if the officials can help it.
Adolph Rupp, of all the legendary coaches, he won at the best percentage.
Probably Jim Calhoun. Guy went 3-0 in title games.
Tom Crean. Win or lose you'll still get to cut the nets down.
Naismith. By the time we get the damn thing out of the peach basket, one made shot will win the game.
I'll remind everyone that Tubby Smith has the highest winning percentage possible in championship games.
Yeah but getting there was a problem with his recruiting. John Wooden is the winner, if he was getting beat he would throw a fit and turn the tide.
Dean Smith pre-1986
I'd just take the air out of the damn ball for exactly 3:58 and the win on free throws at the end.

I don't know, it took a mistaken throw to the wrong man late in the game for him to win his last one.

Honestly, it's probably Coach K but not because of his coaching. It's really because he's likely to get the calls down the stretch of the game. I hate to admit that but it's true. He's going to get the calls and when teams are that close, it usually decides the game. I hate when people say that officials don't decide games because they often do. And I'm an official myself.
4-0, he was pulling the strings behind ollie.
this. wooden would announce his retirement again during the last media timeout to make sure.
Agree with K. I've always thought you need to be at least 10 pts better than Duke with 2 min left to take the refs out of the game and feel safe about a win.
I'm going with Norman Dale. If he gets ejected then Shooter can draw up the picket fence. Helluva staff.
That was to win his first one. It took an opposing player to call a time out his team didn't have to win his last one.
With equal talent the answer is Tubby, hate him all you want but the guy can coach.
K, counting on refs to bail you out isn't coaching. Dean Smith without kids making unforced era's never won a title and with all the cheating he did to only have two is pathetic. Wooden is okay but seriously in that era his teams were just to much talent for anyone else. Rupp would be a good one. Pitino is great at coming up with game plans but one of the worst in game coaches. Cal, he gets too worked up and although his record speaks for itself I still can't put him above Tubby's coaching. Calhoun may be a good choice too.

I'll take Calhoun over K because they faced off in two highly dramatic contests in the 1999 title game and in the 2004 final four (really it was the championship cause the other game was a joke) and Calhoun won both.
Yeah, I agree with you but I had to be technical about it because I know someone would come by and correct me if I did it.
UConn has been to the final four five times and won it all four times. That's pretty damn good.
Coach K has been to the Final Four in 86, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 94, 99, 01, 04, 10 and 15. Thats 12 times and he got to the title game nine times and won it all five times. So Calhoun has a better winning percentage once he gets there.
So not hate him but any coach in history and you'd pick Tubby?
Come on Blue, what if you had a few million on the line?
