Highlights:

National Champs: North Carolina Roy Williams
Second place: Michigan State Tom Izzo
Third place(tied): Villanova Jay Wright
Third place(tied): Connecticut Jim Calhoun

After finishing second last year, North Carolina wins it all this year moving Roy Williams into fifth place, passing Rick Pitino who only managed to get to the Elite Eight this year.  This is the second win for Williams, who won his first championship in 2005 in his second season in Chapel Hill.
Tom Izzo and Michigan State finish in second place, moving Izzo up a bit to .738, remaining in seventh place.   Izzo has been to five Final Fours in the last eleven years, a feat matched only by Roy Williams who had two championships in that time to Izzo's one.
Jim Calhoun suffers his first Final Four loss in three trips as Connecticut loses to Michigan State led by Tom Izzo.  In his previous two Final Four trips (1999 and 2004), Calhoun and Connecticut won the tournament.  This trip puts Calhoun back over .700 at .703, good enough for eleventh place on the list.
UCLA only manages one win this year, dropping Ben Howland below .700 to .692 and down to thirteenth place.
Duke bows out in the Sweet Sixteen and Mike Krzyzewski drops a few percentage points to .763, still good enough for second place.
Mark Few takes Gonzaga to the Sweet Sixteen for the fourth time (also 2000, 2001 and 2006) giving him enough games to debut on this list at .524 good enough to tie him with Don Donoher, long time coach of the Dayton Flyers .  Few has taken Gonzaga to the tournament every year he has been their head coach.
