The 'Coaches with the most Final Four appearances' quiz

The John Calipari era in Lexington is ending. The John Calipari era in Fayetteville is just beginning.

On Sunday, it was reported that after 15 seasons as the head coach at the University of Kentucky, Calipari would be leaving to take the same job at the University of Arkansas. Under Calipari, Kentucky became the fulcrum of the college basketball world. Now, he hopes to do the same for the Razorbacks. No word yet on who will replace the 65-year-old at UK, but whoever it is, they will have very big shoes to fill. 

Which brings us to today's quiz of the day. As of the 2023-24 season, Calipari is just one of 22 college basketball coaches who have taken teams to four or more Final Fours, including appearances that were eventually vacated. So, with that in mind, how many of the 22 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
