Only John Wooden has a better tournament win percentage than Izzo (minimum of 15 games), which puts the head Spartan in elite company. After three straight trips to the Final Four ('99, '00, '01), Izzo's back in what could be considered his best coaching performance. Michigan State was seeded fifth, popped the top seed Duke and second-seeded Kentucky to get to St. Louis (and became the first team to ever beat Duke and Kentucky in the same tournament). His title came in 2000 when the Spartans out-muscled Florida.";

Leave it Pitino to return to the Final Four with a splash. He became the first coach to take three schools to the national semifinals when the Cardinals beat West Virginia. Pitino also guided Providence (1987) and Kentucky ('93, '96 and '97) to this point. He's among the top-five coaches in tournament win percentage and is always one to watch when March rolls around. His lone title came in 1996 when his Kentucky team beat Massachusetts and Syracuse en route to a 34-2 season.";

Weber's the Final Four rookie, but he comes in with a loaded team. The Illini have more wins entering the last weekend than any team since Duke in '99 and are making the school's first appearance since 1989. Weber, who spent five years as the head coach at Southern Illinois and was a longtime assistant as Purdue before taking over taking over at Illinois, isn't just going for his first title, either. If Illinois wins, it'll be the school's first title, too. Those 38 wins will be the most for a champ, too.";

Hard to believe Williams, a Carolina native, hasn't won a title by now. He's been in the final game twice, losing to Syracuse (2003) and Duke (1991), along with appearances in '93 and '02, all with Kansas, and is tied for the most tournament wins without a title. So where is this headed? Some believe the Tar Heels have more talent than any other team and could be ready to give Williams his title. If they do, it'll be the fourth title for UNC and a first for its favorite son."; spt_bkc_FinalFour_coaches[i++] = new Array("spt_0328_finalfour_coach","Vote: Which coach do you want?","","","","", "lv", "", "", "", "right", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""); // END editorial data
