8. Bob Knight is known for two things—his winning ways and his legendary temper. The controversial coach spent the majority of his career, which started at Army and ended at Texas Tech, coaching basketball at the University of Indiana. Knight has 902 wins to his name along with 28 NCAA Tournament appearances, five trips to the Final Four and three championships.

Gregg Marshall didn't learn on the knee of Mike Krzyzewski or Bob Knight. He didn't get his start at UCLA or Kentucky. No, the Wichita State coach cut his teeth at places like Randolph-Macon, Belmont Abbey and the College of Charleston, giving a unique twist to his story of success.
