Highlights:

National Champs: Kansas Bill Self
Second place: Memphis John Calipari
Third place(tied): North Carolina Roy Williams
Third place(tied): UCLA Ben Howland

Bill Self leads Kansas to its first tournament championship since the 1988 Danny Manning Jayhawk squad coached by Larry Brown.  Self, who had previously led both Tulsa and Illinois to the Elite Eight, moves up to .710 and ninth place.
After two straight Elite Eight finishes, John Calipari leads the Memphis Tigers to the championship game, falling to Kansas in overtime.  Calipari also took Massachusetts to the Final Four in 1996 in his final year as coach there.  He moves up to 12th place.
After reaching the Elite Eight last year, Roy Williams and North Carolina get to the Final Four this year, falling in the semifinals to Kansas, the team Williams coached until accepting the North Carolina job in 2003.   Williams record improves to .731 moving him into sixth place past Tom Izzo who only manages to reach the Sweet 16.
UCLA and Ben Howland reach the Final Four for the third straight year, a feat last accomplished by Tom Izzo and Michigan State from 1999 to 2001.   Howland's .708, puts him in tenth place in his first year on the big list.
Mike Krzyzewski and Duke fail to make it to the Sweet 16 (first round loss last year), dropping Krzyzewski's record to .767.  This, however, is still enough to keep him in second place.
