Coaching big-time college basketball is a time-intensive and pressure-filled job. Yet, some of the head coaches below (or their de facto SIDs) find time to Tweet out 140 character messages to their fan base.I've aggregated the list, sorted by conference and who's Tweeting and not Tweeting, to help you connect with your favorite coach. I hope this serves as a useful resource.
Please e-mail me - Peter@PeterRobertCasey.com - if you find any errors or if I missed out on anybody. Happy Tweeting!
