What he did in 2011: In the four seasons before Scott Davenport was hired as Bellarmine men's basketball coach in 2005, the Knights program was going nowhere — a 28-54 cumulative record. The ex-Ballard High School head man and University of Louisville assistant has taken the Derby City school to unprecedented heights. In 2011, he led the Knights (33-2) to the NCAA Division II national title and was named D-II National Coach of the Year. Voter comment: "Just like his former bosses Crum and Pitino, Davenport proved to be a master of winning in March." — Kent Taylor, WAVE TV, Louisville
