Highlights:

Billy Donovan's Florida team wins its and his first ever championship to move Donovan up the list to .696 good enough for eighth place. Donovan also took Florida to the championship game in 2000 in only his second NCAA tournament, his fourth year coaching the Gators. Donovan also went to the Final Four in 1987 as a player for Providence, then coached by Rick Pitino and again in 1993 as an assistant to Pitino at Kentucky.

Ben Howland becomes the fifth UCLA coach (John Wooden, Gene Bartow, Larry Brown and Steve Lavin are the others) to take the Bruins to the Final Four, comes up one win short of the championship and debuts on the list at .643 in thirteenth place. Howland also has taken Northern Arizona and Pittsburgh to the tournament.

Mike Davis, who replaced Bob Knight as Indiana's head coach in 2001, debuts on the list at .636 in his last year at Indiana. In 2002, Davis took the Hoosiers to the final game before losing to a Maryland team coached by Gary Williams, but had trouble living up to expectations in Hoosierland and decided to resign effective at the end of the season rather than continue to fight the rumors about his future. Davis compiled a 115-79 (.593) record at Indiana to go with his 7-4 tournament record - his tournament winning percentage before this year was actually higher than Bob Knight's (.652) though, of course, Knight's record comes with three tournament championships.

LSU makes it to the Final Four and allows John Brady to debut on the list at .600 with a 6-4 record. LSU (a #4 seed) beat #1 seed Duke and #2 seed Texas before falling to a #2 seeded UCLA, coached by Ben Howland.

John Beilein takes West Virginia to the Sweet Sixteen and debuts on the list at .600.

Fran Dunphy takes Pennsylvania to the tournament for the ninth time, loses in the first round and debuts on the list in last place at .100 with a 1-9 record.
