Fair point, although I do think it's still true. I don't think you all would have taken 3 years to get to this point...
Can't disagree with that. NCSU definitely brings the crazies out in force.

You guys really can't say that anymore can you now?
state would have burned down a coach's house after a stetson loss
I wonder how well Duke will hold up once K retires. There really is no one in his coaching tree I can see coming in like Roy did for Dean Smith when he retired. Although maybe keeping it in the family isn't something Duke really cares about.
Where do you put Louisville? No way that is a "tier 6" job. At least on the 3rd list
Louisville is a great job and has been for decades. They have only had two coaches in the past 42 (will probably be over 50) years. Each will be in the Hall of Fame.
They pay outrageously. They have insane fans. Facilities are top notch. Academic requirements are minimal. Thney are in the best bball conference in the country.
It's borderline in the top group. I'd put it no lower than 7th or 8th.
ACC or Big East?
Kansas is the hard one if one takes seriously geographic/climate and recruiting location. Move Wake to Kansas and Kansas to Winston-Salem. Within two years Kansas would have a national championship and Wake would be D-II.
This. Kansas is a national program, so they don't need the state to produce a lot of prospects, but even so, the Midwest produces a lot of great players.Kansas is basically the NBA team of Kansas City (a basketball crazy part of the country), has a number of huge wealthy alumni - Anschutz, etc - who give a ton of money, ridiculous facilities and an utterly rabid fanbase.
All 3 D1 schools in the state of Kansas have been to multiple Final Fours (Wichita State, Kansas State, Kansas). That's a good part of the country to be coaching basketball.
