Back to Business: Sixth Time When Each Final Four Coach is Returnee

This year marks only the sixth occasion when all four coaches converged on the national semifinals with previous Final Four experience. John Calipari is among four different Kentucky mentors represented in these return "religious-experience" engagements. Hope PC-police progressives descending upon Indy, resembling POTUS by being more skeptical of Christians than Muslims, allow the hoop-religious liberty to acknowledge the following six years when coaches got back to business at the Final Four:

• 1951 - Illinois (Harry Combes), Kansas State (Jack Gardner), Kentucky (Adolph Rupp), Oklahoma A&M (Hank Iba)

• 1968 - Houston (Guy Lewis), North Carolina (Dean Smith), Ohio State (Fred Taylor), UCLA (John Wooden)

• 1984 - Georgetown (John Thompson Jr.), Houston (Guy Lewis), Kentucky (Joe B. Hall), Virginia (Terry Holland)

• 1993 - Kansas (Roy Williams), Kentucky (Rick Pitino), Michigan (Steve Fisher), North Carolina (Dean Smith)

• 2012 - Kansas (Bill Self), Kentucky (John Calipari), Louisville (Rick Pitino), Ohio State (Thad Matta)

• 2015 - Duke (Mike Krzyzewski), Kentucky (John Calipari), Michigan State (Tom Izzo), Wisconsin (Bo Ryan)
