I find much of this list to be completely absurd, but maybe that's just me.

I wouldn't even have Pastner on the list, but if I were in a debate class and had to make a case for him, I guess I could do it if I really had to.

Greg McDermott at #23. I don't even know what to say.

Nope you're not the only one.

I completely shake my head regarding the surpling that is going on with Archie Miller. Do these guys know anything about college basketball? Or are these rankings based on what happened in March 2014?

Jim Crews @ #29

That is f'ing hilarious

He inherited a team that someone else put together and coached them for 2 years.

What a sham of a list

Eammon Brennan compiled this list. Knowing that, explains the list.

That list is asinine. And not because we just want Chris Mack to be ranked higher. Just more proof that ESPN is a joke.
