Highlights:

Roy Williams leads North Carolina to the tournament championship, his second, to move up to .753 and third place, passing Rick Pitino who only manages an Elite Eight finish with Louisville.  Williams won his first championship in 2005 in his second year at the helm of North Carolina.
Tom Izzo and Michigan State finish in second place, moving Izzo up a bit to .738, remaining in fifth 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 eighth place on the list.
Jay Wright makes a big jump up to seventeenth place by taking Villanova to the Final Four for the first time since Villanova beat Georgetown to win the tournament in 1985 under Rollie Massimino.  Villanova played in the very first Final Four (actually finishing second in the East Regional - there were only two regionals at the time and nothing called a "Final Four") and lost to UCLA in the finals of the 1971 tournament.
Mike Anderson debuts on the list at .600 after leading Missouri to the Elite Eight.  Missouri has never made it to the Final Four, though they made it to the Elite Eight in 2002, 1994, 1976 and 1944 (when there were only eight teams in the tournament).
Xavier's Sweet Sixteen run allows Sean Miller to debut on the list at .600.
Newcomers to the list this year are Lorenzo Romar of Washington, Trent Johnson of LSU and Rick Stansbury of Mississippi State.
