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.

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.

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.
