12. Boston College: It’s easy for the Eagles to lure top-ranked players ... in hockey. Basketball is a different story. The program’s leaders have had varied levels of success in recent years. From 2001-09, the program made seven NCAA tournament appearances, including the 2006 Sweet 16. But the Eagles have failed to put together a run that would move BC’s head-coaching post up this list. The Eagles averaged just 4,700 at the Conte Forum last season and it's hard for this program to gain any attention in a city wild about its pro sports. Not surprising that native son Nerlens Noel didn’t sport a Boston College hat on signing day. John Wooden would have trouble rebuilding BC. It’s a difficult position for any coach.
