Some coaches say NCAA Tournament expansion fixes something that's not broke
There is no consensus among coaches in college basketball about the competitive value of expanding the NCAA Tournament from 68 to 76 teams.
New Creighton coach Alan Huss said the more the merrier but that the move probably won't have a big impact on the sport overall.
UConn women’s coach Geno Auriemma said expansion attempts to fix something that wasn’t broken.
Auriemma calls it a money grab for the Power Four conferences.
Big Sky Conference commissioner Tom Wistrcill is optimistic expansion will serve his one-bid conference well from financial and competitive standpoints.
