Highlights:

National Champs:	Connecticut	Jim Calhoun
Second place:	Butler	Brad Stevens
Third place(tied):	Kentucky	John Calipari
Third place(tied):	Va. Commonwealth	Shaka Smart

Jim Calhoun leads Connecticut to it's (and his) third tournament championship, moving him up to .7286, almost tying him with Tom Izzo, whose Michigan State team lost in the first round. Connecticut, which did not make the tournament last year, also won under Calhoun in 1999 and 2004. Calhoun also made the Final Four in 2009.

Kentucky makes the Final Four for the first time since Tubby Smith led them to the Championship in 1998. This time John Calipari is in charge in his second year at Kentucky. This year (one round better than last year - his first at Kentucky), his winning percentage moves up to .711, moving him up one spot past Dean Smith to ninth place. Calipari becomes the second coach to take three different teams to the Final Four - University of Massachusetts in 1996, Memphis in 2008 and now Kentucky (Though UMass and Memphis were vacated by the NCAA). Rick Pitino was the first to accomplish coaching three different Final Four schools - Providence in 1987, Kentucky in 1993, 1996 and 1997, and Louisville in 2005.

North Carolina, Florida and Kansas make the Elite Eight, as Roy Williams, Billy Donovan and Bill Self maintain their respective spots on the list.

Steve Fisher leads San Diego State to its first two tournament game victories and a Sweet 16 finish. You have to go back to 1994 and an Elite Eight finish when he coached Michigan to find his last tournament victory. This year's finish drops Fisher .002 percentage points and drops him one spot to fourteenth on the list.
