Highlights:

National Champs: Duke Mike Krzyzewski
Second place: Butler Brad Stevens
Third place(tied): Michigan State Tom Izzo
Third place(tied): West Virginia Bob Huggins

Mike Krzyzewski leads Duke to the tournament championship, his fourth, to move up to .778 padding his hold on second place.  This fourth win ties Krzyzewski with Adolph Rupp, second only to John Wooden who won ten tournaments.
Tom Izzo returns Michigan State to the Final Four for the second time in two years and the sixth time since 1999, to move up to .745 and fifth place, passing both Billy Donovan and Rick Pitino who each suffered first round losses this year.  Izzo's six Final Four trips is surpassed by only John Wooden, Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski and Roy Williams (whose North Carolina team did not make the field this year).
Kentucky makes the Elite Eight in John Calipari's first year at the helm, moving him up to .700 and number ten on the list.
Bob Huggins leads his alma mater West Virginia back to the Final Four for the first time since 1959 (when they lost to California in the title game), improving his record to .591 and moving him up to a tie for 36th place.  For Huggins it was also his second Final Four - he also took Cincinnati there in 1992.
Ohio State makes the Sweet 16 allowing Thad Matta to debut on the list at .636 tied with retired coach Frank McGuire who led North Carolina to its first championship in 1957.  Matta took Ohio State to the championship game in 2007 and has also taken Butler and Xavier to the tournament.
Wisconsin wins one and loses one giving Bo Ryan enough games to debut on the list at .571.  Ryan has taken Wisconsin to the tournament in all of his nine seasons there.
