Vote: Which NCAA Tournament Coach Do You Dislike the Most?College baskebtall coaches are often described as used car salesmen, and that's on a good day. It's part of the business in an increasingly competitive environment, as coaches scratch and claw for the best recruits.

The best recruits win basketball games and winning basketball games makes money. And while the NCAA and its participants like to tell you that it's not about the money, a lot of it is about the money.

For that reason, someone has to take the criticism, and more often than not, it's the head coaches.

A lot of that stems from the fact that people just like to hate winners. For that reason, coaches like Jim Boeheim and Mike Krzyzewski aren't incredibly popular guys outside of Syracuse and Durham and those schools' respective alumni.

The same could be said for someone like Roy Williams (his short temper at times doesn't help). Jim Calhoun may be popular in New England with his local ties, but the Huskies' run of success and Calhoun's multiple violations of rules have earned him some animosity from fans across the country. John Calipari seems like a somewhat likable guy, albeit a successful guy who looks at recruits as one-year stepping stones to national titles instead of young men who are committed to staying in college.

And there's Rick Pitino which is all you have to say really.

Which NCAA tournament head coach do you dislike the most?
