CHAMPIONS CROWNED
By Seth Greenberg, Virginia Tech
At
long last we can crown the champions.
Sure the competition ended on Tuesday
night, but I was in transit from Atlanta,
heading back to Blacksburg before I made
the trip to Portsmouth for the NBA
pre-draft camp. I also thought I would
build up a little anticipation. Truth be
told, I was not pleased about the results.
I was specifically unhappy with the final
result of the first national semi-final in
the head coach tournament.
A few weeks ago Angela Lento told me that
this would be the year that the interest
would start to decline. She has been
saying that for seven or eight years now.
The level of interest reached new heights
this season, due in large part to the
Cinderella run of East Tennessee State
assistant Scott Wagers.
Last year he entered the competition with
an FPI (Fashion Power Index) of 367. He
lost in the fashion style-in (equivalent
to the play-in game) to Sam Houston
State's Neil Hardin who had an FPI of 758.
It was more embossing then disappointing
for Wagers. Entering this season is FPI
had soared to 1019. When there are over a
thousand guys bettered dressed then you,
it’s well past the time for a new tailor.
In one of the greatest wardrobe
turnarounds, Wagers finished the regular
season with an FPI of 105. That type of
miracle gave me hope that I may wake up
one morning with a full head of hair.
Four wins later the 14 seed has advanced
to the Fashionable 4. Thus making it
official. This is the best thing to ever
happen to the Runway to the Fashionable 4.
He is the "Hickory" of fashion.
But this time, when Jimmy Chitwood said,
"I'll make it," he was referring to the
new line of attire Wagers would need to
beat Illinois' Wayne McClain in the first
national semi-final of the day.
In the end it wasn't quite enough, but
years from now the legend of Hickory will
be remembered as a champion. No one will
recall that he lost. Only that he gave all
the guys who couldn't match two socks the
confidence that they could also style
their way to the Fashionable 4.
The second semi-final pitted the champions
of the past two seasons. In 2005 it was
Bacari Alexander that claimed the title.
In 2006 it was Kerry Keating with the
crown. This contest lived up to all the
hype. It was a knock-down-drag-em-out
affair. The Keating contingent will
probably point to the fact that Keating
and UCLA were in the Final Four and that
Kerry was talking to the folks at Santa
Clara about becoming their new head coach.
Don't believe any of that crap. Bacari and
Coke was the drink of choice on this
night.
That
theme continued in the championship.
McClain was regal, but Alexander was Crown
Royal. In a year that saw "Hickory" made
history, Bacari Alexander became the first
assistant coach to win two fashion titles.
In the head coach tournament, we
fast-forward to the second semi final. By
now most of you probably got the idea that
I was defeated in the first national semi
final. I have filed a protest with the
panel, as I believe Mr. Fly was not more
stylish then me. While I wait on the
ruling from the committee, let's take a
look at the Waters-Wilson battle.
It was another clash of former champions.
Wilson had advanced to the Fashionable 4
for the tenth straight season. He is the
only competitor to advance to the
Fashionable 4 in every season since its
inception in 1998. In 2002 he was crowned
champion. For all his success he trails
both Jay Wright and Bruiser Flint in total
championships, as both Clooney and Mr. Fly
have won twice.
Waters has also become a fashion fixture.
He first emerged on the scene at Kent
State and was crowned best-dressed while
at Rutgers in 2003. Now at Cleveland State
Waters is once again proving that
mid-major programs can be dominant on the
catwalk.
The contest was tightly contested
throughout, but Wilson managed to get
past
Waters and into the championship where he
would not be facing yours truly.
My protest was denied and so it was Flint
that would face Wilson. It was fourth
straight appearance in the championship
tilt. Even I have to admit that is
impressive. In 2004 Flint claimed his
second title on the Riverwalk in San
Antonio. He’ll have chance to win another
title in San Antonio in 2008, but he won’t
be the defending champion.
The 2007 best-dressed coach in America is
Willis Wilson.

ELEGANT 8
RESULTS
By Seth Greenberg, Virginia Tech
It
has been an interesting weekend in
Atlanta. While the games on the court may
not have lived up to everyone's
expectations, the action under the bright
lights on the catwalk did not disappoint.
The Hilton in downtown Atlanta was buzzing
with anticipation. Most of the competitors
were available for comment and during a
media session with the teams competing in
the Final Four, UCLA assistant coach
Kerry Keating spent time talking about the
evolution of the Runway to the Fashionable
4.
"This thing started out as a joke, but it
has kind of evolved into a more serious
thing," Keating told a reporter. "You are
representing your program, your head coach
and the school and you want to have an
image that is clean and neat and
organized. That is indicative of how this
team is. Everyone always says you are what
you wear."
You can check out the entire feature with
Keating in the Ventura County Star.
We will check in with Keating and the
stylish assistants later, but first there
is the matter of the real tournament --
The head coach regional fashion finales.
In the West it was a matchup of
contrasting styles. It was the elegant and
classic style of
Willis
Wilson
against the thrift store look of
John Calipari. WW
entered this year's tournament as the only
coach to advance to the Fashionable 4 in
every year since the tournament was first
created. That fact seemed to intimidate Calipari. Much to the disappointment of
Bruiser
Flint, WW slammed his former boss
to advance to the Fashionable 4.
I have to give Mr Fly credit. Flint really
stepped it up, after learning that
Calipari had been beaten. College
Basketball's George Clooney,
Jay
Wright,
was up to the challenge, but Flint used
his advantage of being able to go "off-the-rack" in the children's
department at Bloomingdales. The ability
to expand his wardrobe was the difference.
In the end Flint had a deeper closet.
In the Midwest
Gary
Waters was seeing
nothing but a barrage of pinstripes.
Dave
Leitao dazzled the crowd, but Waters was
unfazed. The "Imelda Marcos" of college
basketball simply had too much variety in
footwear. He stepped past Leitao and into
the Fashionable 4.
That left just one contest remaining.
Three No. 1 seeds were awaiting the winner
of the 6 vs. 13 matchup.
Bobby
Marlin, the
13 seed, had advanced to the Elegant Eight
on the heels of three straight forfeits.
In every case his opponent failed to show
up for the contest. That wasn’t going to
happen to me.
A subtle approach could have possibly
fooled me, but when I saw Jeff Gillooly
walking across the hotel lobby with a
crowbar I got wise to Marlin’s thought
process. Marlin was asked about the Tanya
Harding game plan.
"Why is he so concerned with me," wondered
Marlin. "Seth claims to be one of the more
stylish guys in the game so why is he
overly concerned with a guy from the
Southland Conference? By the way Jeff Gillooly
changed his name. He is now known as Jeff
Stone. Maybe Seth should be more thorough
with his scouting reports."
Forget about the scout.
This time Marlin had to actually compete and it was
no contest. Bald is beautiful and Angela
(Lento) finally got it right -- I have
advanced to the Fashionable 4.
In the Assistant Coach tournament, the top
seed in the Midwest,
Melvin Watkins was
knocked off in OT by the 2005 champion,
Bacari "and Coke"
Alexander. It had to be
the Alligator and Ostrich shoes. The hoofs
and the Ike Behar (Neiman Marcus Line) tie
line will make Bacari tough to beat in the
Fashionable 4.
It looked for a while like he would deal
with fashion newcomer and future GQ cover
boy
Rodrick Rhodes in one national
semi-final, but "Double K"
Kerry Keating
came roaring back. It must be those
Knoxville ties.
Keating and Alexander will meet in a
matchup of the past two champions.
The other national semi will pit
Wayne McClain, who easily beat Drexel's Geoff
Arnold against the tournament Cinderella.
For the first time in the history of the
fashion tournament, a No. 14 seed has
advanced to the Fashionable 4.
Scott Wagers
stunned
Rodney Terry in the
Southeast Fashion Finale.
The semis and the fashion final will take
place on Tuesday evening in Atlanta.

SENSATIONAL 16 RESULTS
By Seth Greenberg, Virginia Tech
Being
tabbed as a No. 6 seed was insulting, but
not being mentioned among the most stylish
coaches in America is simply
disrespectful.
Earlier this week the
Tampa Tribune ran a feature on coaches,
their attire and the Runway to the
Fashionable 4. It wasn't shocking to
find out that I wasn't listed in Vitale's
Top 5 best dressed, but much to my
surprise Angela Lento omitted me from her
list of the five most stylish. Everybody
spends too much time focusing on my bald
dome and not enough time checking out the
impressive threads. Shame on you Angela!
And Vitale...
Anthony
Grant in the Top 5?
Come on now!
While disappointed by Angela's quotes I
wasn't go to let it affect my game. Just
two clowns, I mean two coaches, separate
me from the Fashionable 4. This is where
we separate the stylish from the K-Mart
shoppers. The fashion veterans remain
focused. Yes there is a light at the end
of the runway, but it's important to lock
into the next contest and only the next
contest. A win now means a berth in the
Elegant Eight.
The day got off to an interesting start
when Middle Tennessee's
Kermit
Davis
failed to check in at the judge's table.
After 30 minutes the panel had no choice
but to disqualify him. Incredibly
Bob
Marlin was on his way to the Elegant Eight
having not competed against a single
opponent. It's the third forfeit win in as
many contests for Marlin. ESPN's Andy Katz
is reporting that Marlin intentionally
provided Davis with the wrong start time.
Marlin's magical run will most certainly
end shortly, as his next opponent is yours
truly. I had little trouble getting past
Miami's
Frank Haith. The suave Haith tried
using a fashion full court press by
combing a European style with South
Beach-Art Deco flair. It didn't work. Best
of luck in next year's tournament Frank!
In the East the long awaited showdown will
take place, as
Jay
Wright will meet
Bruiser
Flint in the Regional Fashion
Finale. Mr. Fly did look nice in his
attire, which was purchased in Macy's
children's department. George Clooney will
take down the little guy.
The Midwest final will also be a 1 vs. 2
clash as the regal and classic
Gary
Waters
will face the multiple pinstripes of
Dave
Leitao.
And the seeds held up in the West as No. 2
seed
John Calipari advanced to
the Elegant Eight where he will take on
Willis
Wilson.
Hey Calipari, the ride ends here. WW will
advance to the Fashionable 4.
In the Assistant Coach tournament the two
previous champions both advanced to the
Elegant Eight. UCLA's
Kerry Keating was
extremely impressive with his approach,
made all the more challenging by the fact
that he is preparing for the Florida
Gators on Saturday. Keating defeated
Cameron Dollar to advance where he will
face Idaho State's
Rodrick Rhodes. This
has the makings of a highly contested
affair.
In the Midwest it was all Bacari and Coke.
That's an adult soda. Detroit's
Bacari Alexander will meet No. 1 seed
Melvin Watkins for the right to advance to the
Fashionable 4.
In the East
Wayne McClain
will take on
Geoff
"I have no sense of style"
Arnold in
the regional final. Arnold, who gets his
fashion tips from Flint and occasionally
shops at Boyd's in Philadelphia, has no
shot against McClain.
And perhaps the most engaging story of
this year's catwalk competition continues
to unfold in the Southeast. No. 14 seed
Scott Wagers got past Middle Tennessee's
Thomas Johnson and is now just one step
away from fashion greatness. No. 14 seed
has ever reached the Fashionable 4 and
it's likely to remain that way, as Wagers
will face No. 1 seed
Rodney Terry in the
final.
Action in the Elegant Eight takes place on
Sunday.

SECOND ROUND RESULTS
By Seth Greenberg, Virginia Tech
I
had planned on beginning today's coverage
by acknowledging my good friend and the
former host of the Runway to the
Fashionable 4, Dave Magarity. I had
planned on bringing attention to Dave for
his tremendous success this season, as the
head coach of the Army women's basketball
program. It was announced on Tuesday that
the Army women's team was named the
recipient of the seventh annual V
Foundation Comeback Award, presented
annually by the V Foundation for Cancer
Research.
CLICK
HERE FOR THE PRESS RELEASE
I had planned on applauding Dave and his
entire team. I still want to congratulate
the team, but I am going to put a hold any
congratulatory remarks for Dave because he
decided to pass these comments along to
collegeinsider.com.
|
While I consider Seth a friend I find it
troubling that he is now covering the
Runway to the Fashionable 4. I can only
assume that having carved out a niche with
GreenbergBall.com, Seth now has designs on
becoming the new face of
collegeinsider.com. I am not sure that is
the skull that Angela (Lento) wants
gracing the runway, but that decision
rests with her. I just cannot imagine why
anyone would want the Kojak of college
coaches as a spokesman for the Runway to
the Fashionable 4. |
|
- DAVE MAGARITY |
I am disappointed by those remarks, but I
should point out to Magarity that at least
now someone is covering the event that
actually knows something about style. It
takes a lot of cloth to cover Magarity and
it’s not the highest quality material.
It was curious to me how Magarity ever
even qualified for the fashion tournament.
But every year he was part of the field of
65. And more often then not he would win a
first round contest, but Mags never got
out of the second round. The first round
two rounds are now complete so let's find
out who has advanced to the place that
Magarity never reached -- the Sensational
Sixteen.
Most of the talk centered around the
action in the East. Winthrop's
Gregg
Marshall looked poised for another upset
as he went toe-to-toe with
Bruiser
Flint.
Actually that's wrong as Gregg is much
taller then Mr. Fly who likes his Geranimals. Unfortunately the very
starched Marshall was unable to outlast
Mr. Fly.
The 12 seed
Tom
Parrotta continued to
surprise everyone as he styled past
Norm
Roberts. This is a major upset. Look for
the Canisius coach to slam little Mr. Fly
in the Sensational 16.
Jeff Capel is one of the more stylish guys
in the business, but he had no answer for
the George Clooney of college basketball.
Jay
Wright shined again. His opponent
would be the winner of the
Thompson-Thompson contest.
Congratulations to
John
Thompson III
and
the Hoyas for advancing the Final 4. It's
much deserved, but advancing to the
Fashionable 4 isn't quite as easy for JT
III who had to face
Ronny
Thompson. His brother Ronny has the body for
nice gear. Unfortunately JT III has his
dad's body. Ronny won easily.
The Greenberg Region (Southeast Region) is
officially wide open. Middle Tennessee's
Kermit
Davis
stunned the college basketball world and
the fashion world by getting past
Rick Pitino in overtime. This
is one of the biggest upsets in Runway
history. This is the equivalent of a
decent high school team beating the
Florida Gators. Davis should now cruise to
the Elegant Eight, as his next opponent is
Bob
Marlin who advanced to the second
round after
Tubby
Smith
failed to show up. Apparently
Fang
Mitchell thought they were kidding
when they told him he actually had to
compete against the fashion-challenged Marlin. Fang also failed
to show up so Marlin advances to the
Sensational 16 after a second straight
forfeit.
The other side of the bracket has a
Sensational 16 showdown between two guys
who beat former fashion champions to
advance. Miami's
Frank Haith knocked out
last year's champion
Dennis
Felton. And
the 2005 champion
Neil
Dougherty was
eliminated from the catwalk competition by
none other then yours truly.
There were no major surprises in the
Midwest Region.
Boby
McKillop, who is
pure Brooks Brothers, had a tough time
with
Bobby
Lutz who has a tougher time
getting fitted. In the end the stoic and
Presidential look prevailed. McKillop
always looks like he's getting ready to
declare his candidacy for President.
Another guy with that Oval Office look
about him is
Jimmy
Larranaga, whom I
affectionately call "Murdock." Those of
you who remember the television show, "The
A-Team," will remember Murdock.
Unfortunately for Larranaga there was no
Hannibal, no Face and no B.A. to help him
with his mission to get to the Fashionable
4.
Dave
Leitao, who has more pin stripes
then I have strands of hair, styled past
Jimmy.
Gary
Waters and
Roy
Williams also
advanced.
In the West it's all about WW. Rice head
coach
Willis
Wilson continues to out style
all comers. WW has never failed to reach
to the Fashionable 4 and it doesn't appear
that streak is in jeopardy in 2007.
Unfortunately, on the other side of the
bracket,
John Calipari advanced again.
It's a joke that Flint and Calipari are
still competing. The fashion committee
should take a long hard look at its
selection process. I am hopeful that the
regal look of
Johnny
Jones will take down
Cal in the next round.
Jerry
Wainwright also advanced.
As for the assistants, I had the option of
covering their event or watching paint
dry. I opted for the latter. You can check
the bracket to see who advanced and what
the pairings are for the Sensational 16
for both the head coaches and the
assistants.

the results from the second round check out

March 26, 2007
FIRST ROUND RESULTS
By Seth Greenberg, Virginia Tech
Florida,
Georgetown, Ohio State and UCLA are all
bound for Atlanta for the Final Four,
while 64 hopefuls are vying for four spots
on the Runway to the Fashionable 4.
Regardless of the results, all 130
competitors, in both the head coach and
assistant coach tournaments, be heading to
the Final Four later this week, but only
eight will compete in Atlanta for the
right to be called America's best-dressed.
I am still somewhat puzzled by the seeds
and the competitors, as there are a number
of guys that shouldn't be a part of this
field. In other words -- They aren't
stylish. And you know who you are. We'll
focus on those guys a little more
tomorrow. For now, let's take a look at
the results from the first round.
There were a number of surprises in the
assistant coach tournament. In the West
No. 14 seeded
Niko
Medved
stunned No. 3
Jeff
Battle.
The Wake Forest assistant was a legitimate
challenge to No. 1 overall seed Kerry
Keating. No. 11
Sam
Scuilli
got past No. 6
Gib
Arnold
in a mild surprise. Former Kentucky
All-American
Rodrick
Rhodes
looks like he took a page from his former
coach
Rick Pitino
as it relates to style tactics.
In the Midwest another No. 3 seed fell, as
Miami's
Michael
Hunt
knocked off Virginia's
Rob
Lanier.
And the fashion trend continued for ACC
coaches as Duke's
Chris
Collins
lost the 5-12 contest to Utah Valley
State's
Andy
Hipsher.
That bad day for the conference continued
in the Southeast as Wake Forest's other
style maven
Dino Gaudio
lost to Middle Tennessee's
Thomas
Johnson.
This was arguably the biggest surprise of
the opening round as Gaudio was a No. 2
seed. The 3 seed also went down at East
Tennessee State's
Scott
Wagers
made a nice comeback this year and
defeated Penn State’s
Hillary
Scott.
Coach Wagers was beaten in the "Style-In"
game last year and took a beating from his
coaching friends. There was also some good
news for the ACC as North Carolina's
Steve
Robinson
styled his way into the second round.
In the East the lone upset came in the
12-5 contest, as DePaul's
Ramon
Williams
upended Villanova's
Ed
Pinckney.
It took one Big East coach beating another
to give the conference is only loss of the
day. Big East assistants were 5-1. The ACC
went 1-4 on the day.
In the head coach field, yours truly had
little trouble dispatching
Bruce
Pearl.
That’s my guy, but painting your chest
orange doesn't work here. Overall I was
disappointed that there were no major
upsets to report. I had hoped the
Bruiser
Flint
and
John Calipari
would get dismissed from the party after
round one, but that didn't happen. The
biggest surprises of the day were a pair
of 12 seeds and a 10 seed advancing.
In West No. 10
Brad Soderberg
knocked off No. 7
Randy
Monroe.
In the East No. 12
Tom
Parrotta
beat No. 5
Tom Pecora
and the winner of the 12-5 contest in the
Southeast was Coppin State's
Fang
Mitchell
who is
one of the best in the business. Although
Fang would probably believe the seeding
should have been reversed he's happy with
his win over
Reggie Theus.
Normally it's a big surprise when a 14
beats a 3, but
Bob
Marlin
beating
Tubby
Smith
isn't a stunner. Tubby was a little
distracted with other matters. Marlin
didn't exactly out-style Tubby. It was
more a case of Tubby not showing up.
Marlin wins in a forfeit.

STYLE-IN AND STYLE-OUT
By Seth Greenberg, Virginia Tech
What
a joke! That was my initial reaction after
looking at the brackets, the seedings and
the competitors in this year's Runway to
the Fashionable Four. About the only thing
I liked was the take-off on the 007 movie,
"Casino Royale." Most everything else
concerning the "Fashion Royale" has me
puzzled.
For starters there is no way I am a No. 6
seed. I should have been no worse then a
No. 4 seed. My first round opponent,
Bruce
Pearl
has no shot. Body paint won't help him.
He's an outstanding member of the Jewish
coaching fraternity, but he's one-and-done
on the runway.
I don't have any issues with
Rick Pitino,
Gary
Waters
or
Willis
Wilson
being No. 1 seeds, but Flint being a No.
1? Are you serious?
Bruiser
Flint,
who thinks he's Mr. Fly, is stylish only
in his little world. He should have
competed in Thursday night's "Style-In"
contest. I expect High Point's
Bart
Lundy
to crush Mr. Fly in the opening round.
And look for Cal Poly's
Kevin Bromley
to knock off the No. 2 seed in the West
John Calipari.
Another notable first round matchup has
Canisius head coach
Tom
Parrotta
meeting Hofstra's
Tom Pecora
who was Parrotta's boss last year. I
understand that Parrotta believes he
should be the No. 5 seed, noting that he
helped Pecora shop for nice threads.
As for the assistants, I don't even know
where to start. Most of these guys have no
business being part of this field. There
are a number of guys that aren't even the
best-dressed in their own offices. And how
does Vermont get
Matt Hahn
and
Gabe Rodriguez
in the field and Hajj Turner is not
competing? That should be investigated.
UCLA's
Kerry Keating,
who is the No. 1 overall seed in the
assistant coach tournament, is back to
defend his title. His bio, in the UCLA
media guide, notes his victory in last
year's fashion tourney.
Two members of the Calipari-Flint
contingent meet in the first round as
Memphis'
Derek Kellogg
takes on Drexel's
Geoff Arnold.
Good to see one of those guys will be
headed home shortly.
On that note, lets take a look at who's
headed home as the "Style-In" contests
took place on Thursday evening.
Eastern Washington's
Mike
Burns,
who was clearly not happy about having to
style his way in, got past
Bo Ryan.
For the second straight year Sam Houston
State's
Neil Hardin
found himself in the "Style-In" contest
and he easily styled past
Gabe Rodriguez
who entered with a Fashion Power Index (FPI)
of 687. Not exactly GQ material.
The first round action will take place on
Saturday and Sunday. I'll have a recap on
Monday.
March 21, 2007
BRACKETS UNVEILED
The
brackets for the 2007 Runway to the

ASSISTANT COACH BRACKETS
The catwalk competition for both the head
coach and assistant coaches will begin on
Thursday with the "Style-In" contests. For
the second straight year Sam Houston
State's Neil Hardin will be in the
assistant coach style-in contest. He will
square off against Vermont's Gabe
Rodriguez.
The head coach tournament will begin with
Wisconsin's Bo Ryan meeting Eastern
Washington's Mike Burns.
"The style-in contest," wondered Burns,
"that's a joke!"
Virginia Tech head coach Seth Greenberg,
who is a No. 6 seed in Southeast Region,
