This article is going to look at a couple coaches and players that sit atop the most overrated and underrated list.
Most Overrated Coach:
Coach K - Mike Krzyzewski
Coach K is a good coach, hell, he may even be a great coach, but he is absolutely overrated. I doubt another Coach in the history of sports has done less with so much talent. Billy Donovan had similar talent to what Duke brings in every year and he won titles both years. This in and of itself doesn't mean Coach K is overrated, but it does to speak to the shocking lack of titles that Coach K has sitting on his mantle.
Coach K also has the added benefit of keeping many of his McDonald All-Americans for 3 or 4 years. With that additional benefit it becomes mystifying how he hasn't accomplished more.
At this point, I would call Coach K the greatest recruiter of the modern era in college basketball, but certainly not the greatest coach.
Most Overrated Player:
Tyler Hansbrough

Disaster averted. It definitely wasn’t pretty but Michigan escaped Assembly Hall with their first win since 1995. The first thirty minutes or so it looked like every other game at Assembly Hall, everything that could go wrong went wrong. ...
