Highlights:

Jim Harrick takes UCLA to the title for the first time since the Wooden years. Since he was below .500 last year, his record only improves to 14-10 (.583).
Nolan Richardson fails to capture his second title in a row, but the second place finish moves him up to .687. In two years, the Arkansas coach has jumped from 25th to 7th on the list.
Dean Smith once again takes North Carolina to the Final Four to improve from .700 to .706.
Eddie Sutton reaches .600 with his second trip to the Final Four, this time with Oklahoma State.  Sutton also took Arkansas to a national third place finish in 1978.
Rick Pitino's Elite Eight trip with Kentucky improves his record to .714 to tie Roy Williams for third place on the list.
Steve Fisher's first round loss with Michigan drops him into second place at .800.
John Calipari debuts at .636 after taking UMass to the Elite Eight.
Larry Finch takes Memphis to the Sweet Sixteen, giving him enough games to debut on the list at .545.  As of last year, Memphis State goes by it's new name, The University of Memphis.
