I think the Big East in the 80's had to have had the most colorful group of coaches in college basketball
Carnesecca had his sweaters
Jim Boeheim always looked he had just come from teaching a freshman seminar
Rick Pitino always looked like he had come from a meeting with John Gotti
John Thompson always had the towel on his shoulder
Rollie Massimino always looked like his head would explode any second.
Great memories.
