Two BE coaches included in the top 16 and one ex-MU coach. Wojo too inexperienced to even be considered - going back to '06 -'07.

Some neat methodology and measurables:

1. Recruiting for Instant Impact: Bringing in freshmen or transfers talented enough to boost the offense in Year 1.

2. Recruiting for the Future: Players who will make their biggest impact in Years 2, 3 and 4.

3. Talent Retention: Having valuable players put the NBA draft on hold longer than expected—and avoiding transfers.

4. In-Season Development and Optimal Deployment: Having players exceed their projected performance (based on past stats and recruiting rankings) on a year-to-year basis, and structuring an offense so that the best players take the most shots.

5. Future Development and Succession Planning: Using rotation spots to groom younger (and often underrated) players who will remain at the school and assume bigger roles following key departures.
