All 4 won a title or went to the Final 4 at least once/sometimes multiple times during Crean's tenure. TC never got past the Sweet 16.
If I am an IU fan, I probably think it should be IU and MSU battling for the top spot every year.

It was presented that Crean was 5th best coach in the Big Ten and that's pretty much what I was saying - Izzo at Michigan State, Beilein at Michigan and Matta (fading) at Ohio State. So 4 at best right now though I love Illinois' hire Brad Underwood. Without a doubt Bo Ryan at Wisconsin would be right up there at the top as you say as well but Bo retired, and I don't think anyone is ready to anoint Greg Gard as an elite coach. Have to see how he fares without Bo Ryan's recruits.
