"Junior point guard Jeremiah Quigley led four double-digit scorers with 18 points (13 in first half) and eight assists. Quigley, conference assists leader who entered the game ranked 19th in the nation, continued his torrid production. In the last six games, he is averaging 17.2 points and 7.7 assists."

Best player on a bad team. I think Binghamton only has one D1 win.

LOL - So you think that he will be fired before the start of the Big East Tournament on March 11?
The revenge of Pablo! ;)

Fair point - March 12th then (but certainly possible he doesn't make it to the end of the season). Only thing that may prevent the prior to end of season firing is that the AD will probably get canned too, so may not be in a rush to pull the trigger.

"Fans are encouraged to arrive early for a pre-game ceremony that will include the unveiling of a banner recognizing Larrañaga, the winningest coach in program history.

The first 4,000 fans in attendance will receive a commemorative mini banner.

The special evening will feature in-game programming featuring former players as well as complimentary angel food smoothies, Larrañaga’s favorite flavor, from Smoothie King.

During his 13-plus seasons in Coral Gables, Larrañaga totaled 274 wins and guided Miami to six NCAA Tournament appearances, their first Final Four (2023), first Elite Eight (2022), first ACC Tournament title (2013), first two ACC regular season crowns (2013, 2023) and four Sweet 16 appearances."

"This mark the eighth year in a row that we will be ranking and examining the work of every single active head coach in college basketball. You’ll find mention and examination of all 365 sitting head coaches at the D1 level. There absolutely does not exist a perfect way to rank nearly four hundred coaches against each other, but once again we’ve given it our best try with a few different criteria.

There is no scientific formula or logical argument present throughout this list, it’s simply a balance of experience and success. Just because a team had a better performance last season doesn’t necessarily mean their coach will be higher compared to another school. This is a delicate balance between a coach’s entire history and what they’ve accomplished recently. Surely we see the importance of things like winning in the postseason.

A few new or young head coaches have leapt their way up these rankings, but it’s important to remember the entire body of work. This isn’t specifically a ranking of who a program would want to hire right now but a balanced consideration of everything they’ve done through their career, with a particular focus on recent accomplishments. Information was gathered from various team websites, Sports Reference, and other media but this is a completely independent list that took significant research for every single spot."

9. Rick Barnes (Tennessee) (Last year: 9)

Overall record: 836-423

Final Four in 2003


Unquestionably one of the elder statesmen in this game, Barnes has been a D1 head coach for nearly four decades. He began with solid results in stints leading George Mason, Providence, and Clemson before a 17-year run at Texas. Barnes took the Longhorns to a Final Four and plenty of Big 12 success, including 16 NCAA Tournament appearances. The final chapter of his long career has come at Tennessee and his decade in Knoxville has been equally prosperous. His Volunteers boast a few SEC titles and have reached the Elite Eight in each of the last two seasons.

97. Tony Skinn (George Mason) (Last year: 174)

Overall record: 47-21

While not a household name as a player, Skinn was a major weapon on the George Mason team that advanced to the Final Four in a major surprise back in 2006. After several years playing overseas, he caught on as a collegiate assistant at schools like Seton Hall, Ohio State, and Maryland before his alma mater brought him back as its next leader in 2023. Suffice to say the early results have been impressive, taking the Patriots to the A-10 regular season title and an NIT appearance already.

133. Kim English (Providence) (Last year: 116)


Overall record: 67-63

English showcased his talent in Missouri’s backcourt in the early 2010’s before becoming a late NBA draft pick. After a brief playing career, which included time with the Detroit Pistons, he hopped back into the college game as an assistant. He’d put together two-year stints on staff with Tulsa, Colorado, and Tennessee before George Mason handed him his first head coaching gig in 2021. After winning 20 games in year two with the Patriots, he took on the Providence job and led the Friars to 21 wins and the NIT. However, his second season in Providence was a step backwards and a paltry 12-20 record.

136. Eric Konkol (Tulsa) (Last year: 133)

Overall record: 187-135

Konkol is a Wisconsin native who caught on quickly in the coaching ranks after graduating from Wisconsin-Eau Claire. He had a few early stints before catching the eye of Jim Larranaga, assisting him at George Mason and Miami for over a decade. Konkol’s own head coaching career began with a nice stint at Louisiana Tech, averaging just under 22 wins in seven years. Success hasn’t yet come since jumping to Tulsa in 2022, including a 9th place finish last year’s AAC standings.

166. Austin Claunch (UTSA) (Last year: 168)

Overall record: 102-80

When Claunch was just 29 years old he got his first head coaching job at Nicholls State. He had done solid work on staff at Clemson and aided the Colonels for a few seasons, but he did not look overmatched at all. He took Nicholls to a pair of Southland regular season crowns before accepting a slot on Nate Oats’ staff at Alabama. Claunch got the head coaching itch again and jumped to UTSA last offseason, though his first year wasn’t any sort of breakthrough with the Roadrunners.

184. Duane Simpkins (American) (Last year: 271)

Overall record: 38-29

The earliest coaching work for this former Terrapin came at the high school level, but Simpkins caught on in college ball just over a decade ago. He’s had a few stops, notably spending 8 years on George Mason’s coaching staff. He took the head coaching job at American in 2023, bringing him back to Washington DC where he went to high school, and he’s been great with the Eagles. After a solid debut, Simpkins just took the Eagles to the NCAA Tournament, winning both regular season and conference titles in the Patriot League.

186. Dave Paulsen (Holy Cross) (Last year: 184)

Overall record: 252-227

Previously an assistant at Michigan and a few other schools, Paulsen has made his living as collegiate head coach and is now at his sixth school. He did well in D3 with St. Lawrence, struggled at Le Moyne, and bounced back with a D3 national title at Williams. At the D1 level, Paulsen took Bucknell to a few Tournaments before flaming out with George Mason. He enters year three leading the Crusaders but is just 23-42 to this point.

212. Chris Caputo (George Washington) (Last year: 258)

Overall record: 52-46

Caputo wasn’t exactly a household name as a player at Westfield State, though he quickly caught the attention of Jim Larranaga. He was hired as a video coordinator for him at George Mason in 2002 and would spend the next two decades with Larranaga, both there and at Miami. After seven years as Miami’s associate head coach, Caputo accepted George Washington’s head coaching job in 2022. The native New Yorker put up his best effort in year three, with 21 wins and a postseason big for those Revolutionaries.

"News: 2 days ago - Miller contributed 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six assists, four steals and two rebounds in 46 minutes during Friday's 121-117 overtime victory over the Raptors.

Spin:
Miller logged a game-high workload in minutes in Friday's overtime thriller and capitalized with an efficient scoring night, steady playmaking and active defense. The 25-year-old has been a strong contributor off the bench of late, averaging 14.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals on 58.5 percent shooting from the field and 47.4 percent from deep over the past five games. With Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and Derrick Jones (knee) dealing with lingering injuries, the Clippers have leaned on Miller for added production, and he's delivered consistently."

"Okojie, who is on the Lou Henson Award Early Season Watch List, led Mercer to back-to-back 100-point offensive outings, including the 109 points versus Wofford marking the most points scored against a SoCon opponent in program history. He scored 14 points and dished out five assists in Mercer's 101-63 win over The Citadel on Jan. 7. Three days later, the junior logged career highs in points and assists, finishing with 29 and 12, respectively, as Mercer defeated Wofford, 109-97. The native of Brampton, Ontario, Canada, also had three rebounds and a steal against the Terriers.

For the week, Okojie averaged 21.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.0 steal per game, while shooting 61.1 percent from the floor. Okojie has recorded a steal in each of the Bears' last seven games."

Update: Okojie has scored in double figures in all 19 games played this season. He currently leads the SoCon in assists (5.6 per game) and ranks third in the conference in scoring at 18.2 points per game.
