In terms of active coaches, there have been plenty mentioned....no real need in mentioning Haywood, Beatty, etc ,etc again. Goes without saying, those guys are at the very top of any list. However, couple of names that should be seriously considered:

Doug Preston at Franklin Simpson. Took FS to three straight championship games, winning the last two. He has done a fantastic job wherever he's been. Any team would do well to have him running their program.

Scroggins. Not a huge fan, especially after all the crying and whining over the "edited clips" of the Belfry/DeSales game.....but the dude can coach. Again...he's got to be in the conversation with 4 championships.

I think Hillard Howard deserves to be on most, if not all top 10 listings. However, I think he's too far removed and had lost too much shine when he retired. But.....he was a dandy. hands down.

Scroggins has 5 Championships 07, 08, 2010, 2011, 2012 all against Belfry except 08 against Breathitt Co. so you just about have to put him in the conversation.
