[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Lucida Grande][FONT=arial]Kentucky and John Calipari was the perfect marriage even before the 2012 national championship. Before then, the question was if Calipari would win a title at Kentucky with cycling through a roster of one-and-done players. With a team featuring six NBA draft picks, including the top two selections, Calipari answered. Now, the question seems to be how many titles Calipari could win at Kentucky — provided he doesn’t dip is toe into the NBA again. Senior Night may be a bygone tradition for Calipari teams, but he’s suffered minimal drop-off from year to year. His 173 wins over the last five seasons at Kentucky and Memphis are more than any other coach in the country. Kansas’ Bill Self is No. 2 at 154.[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR]

If you click the link above you will see that Tom Izzo of Michigan State is 1st and Coach K of Duke is ranked 2nd.
Rick Pitino came in 6th.
Should John Calipari be first and why do you think so?
I personally think this list is pretty good, but definitely could change if Calipari keeps going the way he is going.
