Highlights:

The winner of the first tournament in 1939, Howard Hobson has appeared in five tournament games and takes over the top spot by winning a consolation game after a first round loss.
Combined with last year's tournament championship, this year's two losses by Utah allow Vadal Peterson to debut on the list at .600.
Harold Olsen takes Ohio State to the final four for the third time but drops to fifth on the list at .571.
After a one year hiatus, Ozzie Cowles is back at the helm of Dartmouth, putting him back on the active list.  The 2-1 Dartmouth performance last year would have made him the first to coach 10 tournament games.
Howard Cann takes New York U. to the championship game in his second tournament to debut at seventh on the list at .400.
