Someone on this blog had to comment that UCLA's coach, Ben Howland, is a classier coach then Jay Wright...I just couldn't let that blasphemous comment stand. First, the only coach that people outside of Southern California relate to UCLA is John Wooden, as a coach, you will always be in the shadow of that coach...always. Second, yes UCLA has one of the best teams in the nation (although most people outside of the state of California recognize that the PAC 10 is way overrated this year and that UCLA probably will not be able to win the whole thing, but that's neither here nor there), but classiest coach is based on how good your team is right now, it is based on how classy you are while you are coaching your team. An element has to do with how well your team does, but, for example, John Chaney used to coach Temple and they used to be really good under him. Even in their glory days, he was never a classy coach, it is just a fact.
But I did post a picture of Howland for all to see that in no way does he stand up to Wright, Howland doesn't even have a full head of hair, you would never find Wright with a loosened tie during a game (this is a clear sign of coaching weakness by the way) and you would never find him without his suit jacket on. He always coaches like Villanova has the upper hand, which is of course...classy. By the way, Jay Wright won on ESPN.com's bracket contest for most fashionable coach, UCLA didn't even make it to the sweet 16.
Howland has the better team this year, but 'Nova has the classier coach.
