The NCAA men's basketball tournament has a long and storied past. It all started in 1939 when Ohio State coach Harold Olsen presented his idea to the National Association of Basketball Coaches to create a post-season national college basketball playoff, which is now known as the NCAA Tournament.
Championship games have been held coast to coast, in small basketball arenas and large domed stadiums. There have been a few repeat champions and an amazing run of 10 national titles in a 12-year span for the UCLA Bruins.
In 2013, Rick Pitino became the first coach to win an NCAA title at two different schools.
