There are 3 coaches within 2 times of each other. It is very close with one of them with 5 times in a row, one with 6 times and one with 7 times. So there you have it and there are only 3 coaches that could possibly have 5, 6 or 7 times.

I did some checking another place and they had one less appearance for one of the coaches so the best I can find it's a tie between two coaches and the other one has 1 less time. We all know which 3 coaches they are but tell me exactly which each coach has how many times.

For example, in 1949-50, UK was 25-4 and played in the NIT instead of the NCAA tournament. Posts: 10347 | From: Erlanger, Ky.

I didn't believe it could be Tubby so I didn't even look his record up. Tubby went to the NCAA tourney all 10 years he coached. It is hard for me to realize he did that. After that another stat that really threw me is that Rick and Cal both had 6 years in a row to beat out Rupp. He had two strings of 5 in a row.

He seemed to always get 1 or 2 really top recruits and a lot of very good recruits. His slow moving offense did him in like Cal's poor shooting teams have caused him to do less with more.
