60. Bill Coen, Northeastern

Bill Coen has been the head man for Northeastern since 2006 and has had a relatively successful run. The Huskies have gone 224-196 under Coen and advanced to postseason play five times, including a pair of NCAA Tournament berths.

59. Tim Craft, Gardner-Webb

The Bulldogs reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time this season, and a lot of the credit for that effort goes to head coach Tim Craft. Gardner-Webb has posted five winning seasons under Craft and defeated the Big South’s top two seeds, Campbell and Redford, to punch their ticket to March Madness.

58. LeVelle Moton, North Carolina Central

The Eagles have had a solid run of success under the watchful eye of Moton, who took over the program when North Carolina Central was an independent program. Since joining the MEAC Moton has taken N.C. Central to four NCAA Tournament appearances, including three straight MEAC Tournament titles.

57. Mike Rhoades, VCU

Like Mullin, Rhoades simply doesn’t have a long track record at the Division I level. After experiencing success at DIII Randolph-Macon, Rhoades coached at Rice for three years before being tapped to succeed Will Wade at VCU. The Rams have posted two winning years under Rhoades and are back in the NCAA Tournament this season after winning the Atlantic 10 during the regular season.
