  1. GROK: --------- To determine the top five oldest NCAA men's basketball coaches to win the NCAA championship over the last 30 years (from March 22, 1995, to March 22, 2025), we need to look at coaches who won the title between the 1995 tournament and the most recent one in 2024, then identify their ages at the time of victory. The NCAA tournament typically concludes in early April, so the 1995 championship falls just within the 30-year window from today’s date, March 22, 2025. Below is the list based on available historical data and calculated ages: 1. **Jim Calhoun, UConn, 2011** - Age: 68 years, 10 months, 24 days - Date of Championship: April 4, 2011 - Born: May 10, 1942 - Calhoun led UConn to a 53-41 victory over Butler, becoming the oldest coach to win an NCAA title at that time. His exact age is calculated from his birthdate to the championship date. 2. **Mike Krzyzewski, Duke, 2010** - Age: 63 years, 1 month, 22 days - Date of Championship: April 5, 2010 - Born: February 13, 1947 - Krzyzewski, known as "Coach K," guided Duke to a 61-59 win over Butler. He was 63 at the time, making him one of the older champions in this period. 3. **Jim Calhoun, UConn, 2004** - Age: 61 years, 10 months, 25 days - Date of Championship: April 5, 2004 - Born: May 10, 1942 - Calhoun appears again, winning his second title with UConn in a 82-73 victory over Georgia Tech. He was just shy of 62 years old. 4. **Bill Self, Kansas, 2022** - Age: 59 years, 3 months, 8 days - Date of Championship: April 4, 2022 - Born: December 27, 1962 - Self led Kansas to a dramatic 72-69 comeback win over North Carolina. At 59, he’s among the older coaches in this timeframe, though notably younger than the top three. 5. **Roy Williams, North Carolina, 2009** - Age: 58 years, 8 months, 4 days - Date of Championship: April 6, 2009 - Born: August 1, 1950 - Williams secured his second title with a 89-72 win over Michigan State. He was 58, rounding out the top five. ### Notes: - The 30-year window (1995–2025) includes championships from 1995 (won by UCLA’s Jim Harrick, who was 56) through 2024 (won by UConn’s Dan Hurley, who was 51). However, Harrick and Hurley don’t rank in the top five due to their younger ages compared to the listed coaches. - Ages are calculated based on the exact date of the championship game and the coach’s birthdate, ensuring precision. - Other notable winners in this period, like John Calipari (53 in 2012) or Jay Wright (54 in 2016 and 56 in 2018), were younger than those listed. These five stand out as the oldest within the last 30 years, with Calhoun holding two spots due to his late-career success. Let me know if you’d like further details!
  2. Games to watch tomorrow... If Will Wade gets to the S16, does Texas have second thoughts? Clash of the legends Hahah A&M If Ben McCollum gets to the S16, does Texas have second thoughts? Or maybe we double-dip TT for a little Grant McCasland action? Rick Barnes still coaches at UT Hook 'em, Lady Horns!
  3. Sean Miller looks like Perry fuckin Mason
  4. UCONN has heavy stars rooting for them. Bill Murry and Michael from Archie Bunker. wrong thread oh well
  5. I bet you're right, not enough games. But a big enough name. Bet he'd be pretty high on that list.
  6. How did they decide what "expected wins" were? And do you have a chart with Tommy on it?
  7. I'm wicking up the insanity by one more notch Tommy with a Tommy!
  8. Oh nice, McCollum potentially gets a couple of interesting tests. McCollum vs. McCasland and then two of our potential future coaches likely against Pitino.
  9. I'm bummed that Rodney wasn't able to overcome his obstacles this year. Which included his own coaching style and coaching staff.
  10. Shedrick only credited with one block?
  11. Unfortunate meltdown to end the game.
  12. "The Chess match between Miller and Rodney Terry continues" that's what the guy just said
