Seven national Championships, 17 Final Fours, and 174 March Madness Victories. Those are the accolades between coaches Dan Hurley, Rick Pitino, John Calipari, and Bill Self. The West Region of the March Madness bracket has four outstanding coaches who have kept their name synonymous with March and have been winning for a long time.
