I've profiled successful coaches periodically. For some, I've just annotated interviews or podcasts.
The list isn't designed for inclusiveness or ranking. I study coaches that I find intriguing or different. As for original ideas...they did that.
In the pros, the players are the product. In college, the players share the spotlight with coaches.
Here's a partial list, which also reminds me about the many worth study that I haven't profiled - Red Auerbach, Pete Newell, Pat Summitt, Phil Jackson, Tara VanDerveer, Doc Rivers, Mike Krzyzewski, Roy Williams, Lefty Driesell, Jerry Tarkanian, Chuck Daly, Etorre Messina, Muffet McGraw, Scotty Bowman, Kevin Eastman, Dawn Staley, and so many more.
So many coaches...so little time. Maybe your favorite isn't on the list...they might be great but not so fascinating to me...not naming names.
Regardless, we have to be ourselves...and opinions are like, well, you know.
