Even without Alcindor, UCLA wins again and John Wooden becomes the only coach to win four titles in a row, and six tournament championships all together.  Among coaches with twenty games to their credit, Wooden is solidly in first place at .750, pulling away from the pack.
Kentucky again goes 1-1, dropping Adolph Rupp slightly to .659.
Houston wins one, but loses two, dropping Guy Lewis to .545, but with 22 games under his belt, Lewis becomes the fifth coach to appear on this list, and debuts in fourth place.
