Buster Sports has put together an ACC Coaches Tournament bracket meant for the summer devoid of college basketball goodness. Needless to say an interesting idea.
The bracket can be seen here.
There are four eight coach regions. The #1 seeds are: Dean Smith, Roy Williams, Mike Krzyzewski and Everett Case.
In the first round #1 Roy Williams takes on #8 Bud Millikan of Maryland. #1 Dean Smith is up against #8 Leonard Hamilton which constitutes a gap the size of the Pacific Ocean between these two in terms of coaching intellect. I mean seriously, Hamilton does not even draw up last second plays for his team in the NCAA Tournament. Dean will cruise in that one. Bill Guthridge made the field as a #4 seed going against #5 Al Skinner, BC. Matt Doherty was unable to parlay his 2001 COY award into a tournament bid apparently.
Something for william to chew on: The #2 seed in Roy’s bracket is Frank McGuire.

Roy’s going against a guy who went undefeated twice in the ACC and like him, took two different schools to the Final Four and the number one ranking. That is pretty elite company.
K might have gone undefeated in the ACC twice. I think Dean only did it once. I think Roy did go undefeated one year in the Big Eight.
The Case region has to be the weakest one seed. K has it tough like Roy, with Sloan and Driesell, who had peaks almost as good as K’s, or even better, in the case of Sloan going 57-1 in 1973 and 1974, but only for about three years each, pretty much at the same time, unfortunately for Lefty.
