For white players. Off the top of my head ...
Roy Williams: Tyler Hansbrough will soon join other white first-round NBA
picks Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison, Scott Pollard, Greg Ostertag, Rex Walters
(1/2 Japanese), Raef Lafrentz, Mark Randall.
Coach K: Three national championships, two of which featured white All-
Americans. First-round picks: Mark Alarie, Mike Dunleavy, JJ Redick,
Danny Ferry, Bobby Hurley, Christian Laettner, Cherokee Parks. However,
has also
squandered first-round talents like Shavlick Randolph and Chris Burgess.
Mark Few: Took Dan Monson's program to an even greater national
profile with lots of white starpower, Adam Morrison first and foremost.
Charlie Coles: I think he's the only college coach to have sent on two
furture NBA All-Stars, Dan Majerle and Wally Szczerbiak.
Bob Knight: Three national championships, with All-Americans like Kent
Benson and Steve Alford. Media used to say he was the only coach who
could win a national title with five white starters.
Lute Olson: Teams were whiter when the program was coming up in the
80s. Steve Kerr and Jud Buechler both had legit NBA careers, but weren't
first-round picks. Neither were Tom Tolbert or Luke Walton. Chase
Budinger,however, will be.
Billy Donovan: One white starter on national championship team. Jason
Williams and MIke Miller were first-round picks, and future recruiting
classes could bring more. Matt Bonner has also carved out a decent
career.
Lorenzo Romar: One of the hottest coaches in the country, has brought in
back-to-back white prep All-Americans in Jon Brockman and Spencer
Hawes. Ryan Appleby was Pac-10 newcomer of the year last season.
And a guy who will never make this list: John Calipari
