One need look no further than Pitino for an example of that.

Speaking of Pitino, both he and Huggins are members of a somewhat exclusive club as coaches who led two or more different programs to the Final Four. Huggins did it with Cincinnati in 1992 and West Virginia in 2010. Pitino (Providence, Kentucky, Louisville) and Cal (UMass, Memphis, Kentucky) are the only two coaches to do it with three different programs. Other members of the club:

Hugh Durham (Florida State, Georgia)
Larry Brown (UCLA, Kansas)
Lute Olson (Iowa, Arizona)
Eddie Sutton (Arkansas, Oklahoma State)
Roy Williams (Kansas, North Carolina)
Lon Kruger (Florida, Oklahoma)

I may be missing a few in there, I'm not sure.
