Their business cards might read "Durham, NC" or "Storrs, CT" -- but their addresses will always be in Springfield, Massachusetts. These coaches have already received basketball's highest honor: placement in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
  • Mike Krzyzewski - Duke
    Class of 2001
    Few coaches can match the accomplishments of "Coach K." With three national titles (1991, 1992, 2001) to his credit, the head Dookie trails only basketball immortals John Wooden and Adolph Rupp.
  • Jim Calhoun - Connecticut
    Class of 2005
    Calhoun has taken a school located in a rural Connecticut dairy-farming area and turned it into a national powerhouse, churning out NBA stars. His Huskies won then national title in 1999 and 2004.
  • Jim Boeheim - Syracuse
    Class of 2005
    A fixture at Syracuse since 1962, as a student/athlete, assistant coach and head coach, Boeheim has led the Orange to more than 700 wins, three Final Fours, and a National Title in 2003.
  • Roy Williams - North Carolina
    Class of 2007
    Williams reached the 500 victory mark faster than any other coach, and is one of only three men to bring multiple teams to the NCAA championship game. Though he developed a reputation for losing the big games while at Kansas, he got over the hump in 2005, winning a national title with the Tar Heels.
