Imo the top 5 most attractive jobs are: 1. Kansas - only won 4 titles in their school history and rarely pressures coaches to have to win titles to keep their job. Recruits well and has a very supportive fanbase. 2. Florida - For mostly the same reasons as the KU job. Their previous HC Mike White was mediocre for many years and they never fired him. It’s also easy to recruit in the state of Florida for the best players. 3. UNC - Great tradition and history, very supportive fanbase and alumni. Lots of pressure to win titles. But they recruit very well and have all the necessary resources and facilities to win. 4. UConn - There’s a high standard to win there but for the players that they recruit and the culture that they’ve built is fantastic for winning in March. The only reason why this job is lower than the other ones on this list is because of recruiting as UConn does not always consistently recruit well and often have to rely on landing talented transfers to win which can be hit or miss. 5. UCLA - Easy to recruit in one of the biggest markets. They are a sleeping giant that does need the right coach to resurrect their program like Nick Saban did for Alabama. But if they ever get resurrected, there are many benefits that comes with that job. I didn’t put Duke in here because Coach K’s shadow puts a huge pressure on whomever that takes that job to have to succeed consistently on a high level. Also omitted Kentucky for similar reasons as their fanbase is toxic and wants a coach gone as soon as the coach is not winning titles.

I played college basketball. I have been to all these places and know someone who played for all of them except Gonzaga. My list would be Kansas (Great recent and past tradition) 2. UCONN (Best Recruiting Territory for Basketball. Who cares about storrs. You aren't far from Boston or NYC) 3. UNC (The Goat played there-6 Nattys) 4. Duke (Coach K is the GOAT for coaches) 5.Kentucky (Stop playing dude. They haven't won the natty in years but it is still KY. Great players go there still). Now if UCONN wins another one I will put them at the top because to me a great job is can you get who you want to play there? Do they have nice facilities? Is Basketball a thing there or back seat to football? Can they pay you in line with the top coaches. Coaching at the fives schools listed would be a destination job. These are pure basketball places.

Gonzaga is consistent but not a prestige job. My list is based on history of the program and if you win a national championship at any of the programs I listed carries the most weight on a resume for a coach.
