Three's Company: Final4 Version of Active DI Coaches Who Were Teammates

There have been mixed reviews of Big3 on FoxSports1. Perhaps they could supplement competition with the following Final Four version of active NCAA Division I head coaches in sets of three who played on same college team:

  • Three current power-league coaches - Tad Boyle (Colorado), Danny Manning (Wake Forest) and Mark Turgeon (Maryland) - were teammates at Kansas under Larry Brown in 1984-85.
  • Cuonzo Martin (Missouri), Matt Painter (Purdue) and Linc Darner (Green Bay) were teammates at Purdue under Gene Keady in 1991-92 and 1992-93.
  • Mike Brennan (American), Sydney Johnson (Fairfield) and Chris Mooney (Richmond) accounted for three of Princeton's top five scorers under Pete Carril in 1993-94.
  • Allen Edwards (Wyoming), Scott Padgett (Samford) and Mark Pope (Utah Valley) were teammates at Kentucky under Rick Pitino in 1994-95 or Edwards, Padgett and Steve Masiello (Manhattan) at UK under Pitino in 1996-97.
