Highlights:

Jay Wright wins his second championship with Villanova in three years, a feat accomplished by only two other coaches since the Wooden Era at UCLA.  Those two coaches won back to back - Billy Donovan (Florida 2008/2009) and Mike Krzyzewski (Duke 1991/1992). Villanova's dominate run through the tournament allows Wright to jump up to .675, good enough for sixth place.  This is Wright's third Final Four appearance, previously taking the Wildcats in to the Final Four in 2009.
John Beilein takes Michigan to the title game for the second time to move up to .667 into a tie with Frank Martin for seventh place on the list. Beilein also took Michigan to the finals in 2012.
Kansas makes the Final Four to give Bill Self a .712, moving him up two spots to fourth place on the list.  This was Self's third Final Four, having taken Kansas to the championship game twice (2013 and 2008), winning it all in 2008.
Syacuse was the last team selected for this year's tournament and had to play an eleven seed play-in game in Dayton, but still managed to make the Sweet Sixteen, moving Jim Boeheim up to .652 and into the top ten on the list.
Bruce Weber moves up to .556 in a tie with Tony Bennett of Virginia by virtue of number nine seed Kansas State's run to the Elite Eight and Virginia's first round loss.  Weber took Illinois to the championship game in 2005. Virginia now own's the dubious distinction of being the first number one seed to lose to a sixteen seed (UMBC) in the first round.
