Jay Bilas has 3 SEC coaches among top 10 coaches in 2022 NCAA Tournament
Jay Bilas is ESPN’s top college basketball analyst and a former Duke basketball player.
So, when asked to rank his top 10 coaches in this year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, you won’t be surprised to learn that he has Coach K atop his list.
However, of the 6 SEC teams to make the field of 68, Bilas has 3 of those teams’ coaches — Kentucky’s John Calipari, Tennessee’s Rick Barnes and Auburn’s Bruce Pearl — on his list:

Calipari leads the way at No. 5. Barnes and Pearl bring up the rear at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively.
Will one of those 10 coaches win the NCAA Tournament this year? Or, will Bilas’s list next year have a new entry?
