Unrealistic expectations spread like a virus across the country when a young pup such as Brad Stevens won 11 NCAA Tournament games in his first four seasons coaching mid-major Butler. But many school administrations and boosters need to exercise a little patience in this era of instant gratification.

Supporters should take a chill pill if Ray McCallum (15th year with Ball State, Houston and Detroit), Greg McDermott (11th at DI level with Northern Iowa, Iowa State and Creighton) and Mark Schmidt (11th with Robert Morris and St. Bonaventure) remain winless in NCAA Tournament competition by losing their openers.

Take a long look at how long it took for the following alphabetical list of high-profile coaches, including all-time leader Mike Krzyzewski of Duke, to secure their first NCAA playoff victory.

NOTE: The victories for Greer, McCarthy and Newton were the only one they posted in NCAA playoff participation.

There is a tendency to overindulge at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Anyone digesting the following assortment of incisive facts on the 68 NCAA Tournament coaches should find that variety is the spice of CollegeHoopedia's occasionally irreverent smorgasbord. Remember: If a morsel isn't appetizing, don't be a glutton for punishment in trying to comprehend what makes the playoff coaching community tick. Just proceed directly to the next tidbit. Sooner or later, there's bound to be a factoid you can savor en route to the Final Four in New Orleans.

Answers (Day 2)

What was the incentive for Kentucky, Syracuse and North Carolina to put it all on the line in their respective postseason conference tournaments when they were virtually guaranteed #1 seeds in the NCAA playoffs?

Kentucky's 71-64 defeat against Vanderbilt in the SEC Tournament final marked the third time the Wildcats had an undefeated team in regular-season league competition get upset in the league tourney. Vanderbilt celebrated its first appearance in an SEC final in 61 years by duplicating what it achieved in 1951 (knocking off the Wildcats).

Following is a striking number of schools to go undefeated in conference competition before losing in an NCAA playoff-automatic qualifying league postseason tournament:

NOTE: UNLV (18-0 in the Big West in 1991-92 but was ineligible to participate in postseason competition).

Is that your final answer? Do you have the wit, guile and endurance to be a "Survivor" answering daily questions about "The Amazing Race" otherwise known as the NCAA Tournament?

Standardized testing is controversial, but it's time to put your NCAA playoff knowledge on the line and attempt a free shot at CollegeHoopedia.com's challenging tourney-time questions (10 per day from Selection Sunday through the pit-stop championship game).

Day 1 answers.

If your RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) isn't satisfactory, then it's time to R.I.P. (Rest in Peace). That certainly was the case for Harvard, the Rip Van Winkle of college basketball, until the Crimson woke up and secured its first NCAA playoff berth since losing two games in 1946.

Just give peace a chance! Sounds great conceptually but probably not practical in the Middle East. Only two Arab states recognize the existence of the state of Israel, which is roughly the size of New Jersey and surrounded by hostile dictatorships with 40 times as many citizens.

Factitiously, perhaps President Barack Obama, a JV basketball player for Occidental (Calif.) and one of a number of politicians who played the game, would look more favorably upon Israel if the landscape resembled several decades ago when there was a striking number of impact Jewish hoopsters. In a 30-year span from 1933-34 through 1962-63, occasional powerhouses CCNY, LIU, NYU and St. John's each featured three different Jewish All-Americans on CollegeHoopedia's comprehensive list.

Obama, who received more than 3/4 of the Jewish vote in 2008, said his commitment to Israel is "unshakable," but many Jewish State advocates think such an "I've-got-your back" claim is the height of diplomatic chutzpah. A couple of years ago, the White House refused to allow non-official photographers to record a multi-layer lecturing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and no statement was issued afterward upon the PM being ushered out the back door like a scorned referee. The administration subsequently reinforced its stance by insisting that Israel stop building homes in Jerusalem, demanding it move back to pre-1967 indefensible borders and attempting to stall Israeli military action while neighboring Iran develops its nuclear technology.

Thus the remedy for Israel generating more political support might be another prophet Moses surfacing for the Jewish community as it copes with a current U.S. basketball exodus of sorts for them. They're in the midst of wandering 40 years across the hoop desert seeking another All-American from this country. And the Promised Land isn't within sight since Tennessee's Ernie Grunfeld was the last American Jewish honoree (1976 and 1977).

Israel native Doron Sheffer, a Connecticut guard, was named an All-American in 1995-96. Three additional Israeli products earned all-conference recognition - Connecticut forward Nadav Henefeld (Big East in 1989-90), Wright State center Israel Sheinfeld (Midwestern Collegiate in 1999-2000 and 2000-01) and California forward-center Amit Tamir (Pacific-10 in 2002-03). More than half of the following American Jewish All-Americans secured such an honor before the State of Israel declared independence in mid-May 1948:

For the second time in eight years, two Australians were named conference player of the year in the same campaign. Guards Ryan Broekhoff (Valparaiso in Horizon League) and Matthew Dellavedova (Saint Mary's in West Coast) were honored this season, duplicating the 2004-05 feat by centers/fellow Aussies Andrew Bogut (Utah in Mountain West) and Alex Loughton (Old Dominion in Colonial Athletic Association).

CollegeHoopedia.com is enamored by the diverse approaches the history of college basketball can be depicted if the information is presented properly. Thus, we'll occasionally deliver a variety of packages you can't possibly find anywhere else in order to try to accentuate illuminating the sport.

Ardent fans of the NCAA Tournament argue that the incredibly popular event is 100 percent perfection. Whatever your level of expertise, CollegeHoopedia.com guarantees you a 100% score is virtually impossible for any brave soul willing to take our "Who Am I" quiz.

With the NCAA playoffs entering its 74th year, you can occasionally stumble across familiar faces in non-basketball endeavors by browsing through old rosters and box scores. In a format similar to the old game show "What's My Line?," can you guess the names of the accompanying 100 individuals who played in the NCAA Tournament before they distinguished themselves in various vocations off the hardwood? If you want to do your hoop homework, they are cited in a "Celebrity Status" category in CollegeHoopedia.com's season-by-season NCAA Tournament summaries commencing with the inaugural NCAA playoffs in 1938-39.

If youngest brother Marshall Plumlee improves as much as Duke siblings Mason and Miles, they could combine with their father, former Tennessee Tech frontcourter Perky, to comprise one of most influential families in college basketball history.

Who are 10 of the top groups of hoop sons stemming from Big Daddy? The following list is likely to change next year because of Grant's Army after former Oklahoma All-American Harvey Grant had a third son sign with a major school - Jerai (Clemson), Jerian (Notre Dame) and Jerami (Syracuse recruit). Until then, the "HoopDaddys" comprised of college players who had at least three sons also go on to compete in a significant way at a similar level include:
