What are the school and individual records that will never come close to being matched let along exceeded? In the ensuing days, CollegeHoopedia.com will designate the ultimate team and individual standards of excellence. Records were made to be broken, but perhaps not always in our lifetime. Following is #6 in the countdown of most illustrious NCAA achievements:

6. UCLA's streak of 13 consecutive undisputed conference championships in a power league (from 1967 through 1979 in Pacific-8/Pacific-10).

Coach Mark Few's impressive 11 consecutive West Coast Conference regular-season championships with Gonzaga from 2001 through 2011 included two ties. But whether it is the West Coast, East Coast or somewhere in between, there is a distinct difference from a mid-major league to a power six alliance.

The Bruins' composite conference record while capturing 13 straight undisputed regular-season league titles was an amazing 171-15 (.919). They were undefeated in conference competition five times in the first seven years of that streak. UCLA had three different coaches during the last five seasons of its domination.

Oregon, Few's alma mater, was the only school to win a home-and-home series against the Bruins during this streak (under coach Dick Harter in 1976-77). UCLA's league losses during the 13 seasons came against the Ducks (five), Washington (three), Oregon State (two), Southern California (two), Stanford (two) and Arizona (one).

7. Artis Gilmore's career rebounding average of 22.7 per game (for Jacksonville in 1969-70 and 1970-71).

8. Centenary's Robert Parish finished among nation's top five in rebounding all four seasons with more than 15 rpg each year.

9. Kentucky's 129-game homecourt winning streak (under coach Adolph Rupp from Jan. 4, 1943, to Jan. 8, 1955.)

10. Bill Chambers' 51 rebounds in a single game (for William & Mary vs. Virginia on Feb. 14, 1953.).

What are the school and individual records that will never come close to being matched let along exceeded? In the ensuing days, CollegeHoopedia.com will designate the ultimate team and individual standards of excellence. Records were made to be broken, but perhaps not always in our lifetime. Following is #8 in the countdown of most illustrious NCAA achievements:

8. Robert Parish finished among nation's top five in rebounding all four seasons with more than 15 rpg each year.

Parish, attending Centenary College in his hometown of Shreveport, La., finished his career (1972-73 through 1975-76) as the only Division I player ever to rank among the national top five in rebounding for four seasons. He averaged more than 15 rpg each campaign, a figure no one has surpassed since 1979-80 when Alcorn State's Larry "Mr. Mean" Smith led the country with 15.1 rpg.

How in the name of James Naismith did no outlet acknowledge Parish as a first-team All-American? He had 33 games grabbing a minimum of 20 rebounds en route to retrieving an average of 16.9 missed shots per contest. Centenary de-emphasized its program prior to last season but Parish's prolific performances won't be forgotten despite the NCAA overlooking them as part of probation sanctions against the Gentlemen. Following is a look at Parish's eight contests with at least 25 rebounds and his game-by-game totals:

33 -- vs. Southern Mississippi (January 27, 1973)
30 -- at Lamar (December 22, 1972)
29 -- vs. Texas-Arlington (February 5, 1973)
27 -- vs. Lamar (February 7, 1973)
27 -- vs. Northwestern State (December 9, 1974)
27 -- at Northeast Louisiana (January 15, 1976)
26 -- vs. Houston (January 17, 1974)

9. Kentucky's 129-game homecourt winning streak (under coach Adolph Rupp from Jan. 4, 1943, to Jan. 8, 1955)

10. Bill Chambers' 51 rebounds in a single game (for William & Mary vs. Virginia on Feb. 14, 1953).

The NCAA Tournament commenced in 1939, which was one year after the NIT triggered national postseason competition. An overlooked "versatile athlete" feat occurring in 1938 that never will be duplicated took place at Arkansas, where the quarterback for the football squad (Jack Robbins) repeated as an All-SWC first-team basketball selection, leading the Razorbacks (19-3) to the SWC title. After the season, Robbins became an NFL first-round draft choice by the Chicago Cardinals (5th pick overall) and senior football/basketball teammates Jim Benton (11th pick) and Ray Hamilton (41st pick) went on to become wide receivers for at least six years in the NFL. Yes, that was three members of a league championship basketball squad who promptly were among the top 41 selections in the NFL draft.

What are some other school and individual records that will never come close to being matched let along exceeded? Jeff Eisenberg of Yahoo Sports cited his list of "Untouchables" earlier this summer. A similar series from CollegeHoopedia.com in the ensuing days will either reinforce, embellish or be somewhat different regarding the ultimate team and individual standards of excellence. Records were made to be broken, but perhaps not always in our lifetime. Following is #10 in the countdown of most illustrious NCAA achievements:

10. Bill Chambers' 51 rebounds in a single game (for William & Mary vs. Virginia on Feb. 14, 1953).

Chambers, standing a mere 6-4, grabbed an NCAA-record 51 rebounds for William & Mary in a 105-84 victory against Virginia on Valentine's Day. He finished third in the nation in 1952-53 in retrieving missed shots with 21.8 rpg, finishing behind Fordham's Ed Conlin (23.5 rpg) and Seton Hall's Walter Dukes (22.2 rpg). Chambers later became his alma mater's all-time winningest coach in a nine-year coaching career with the Tribe from 1957-58 through 1965-66 (modest win total could be surpassed in 2012-13).

No individual has grabbed more than 35 rebounds in a single NCAA Division I game since Pacific's Keith Swagerty (39 vs. UC Santa Barbara) and East Tennessee State's Tommy Woods (38 vs. Middle Tennessee State) in 1964-65. The last 32 teams to lead the nation in rebounding margin averaged 42 rebounds per contest. Here is the line score of Chambers' performance:

WILLIAM & MARY (105): Mahoney 5 6-11 16, Savage 0 0-4 0, Berry 1 1-2 3, Harris 10 0-1 20, Chambers 16 5-6 37 51, Hume 6 4-7 16, Drake 0 0-0 0, Hoitsma 4 5-6 13. Team 42 21-37 (.568) 105.
VIRGINIA (84): Roach 2 2-5 6, Burlage 1 3-4 5, Cooke 2 1-1 5, Esckilsen 6 1-5 13, Gamble 2 5-6 9, Wilkinson 10 8-8 28, Dohner 7 2-2 16, Casey 1 0-0 2. Team 31 22-31 (.710) 84.

There was sobering news about the demise of Peter Sauer, a captain and third-leading rebounder for Stanford's 1998 Final Four squad. The 35-year-old Sauer collapsed during a recreation game in White Plains, N.Y., hit his head and never was revived. His father, Mark Sauer, is a former president of two pro franchises - the NHL's St. Louis Blues and MLB's Pittsburgh Pirates.

The existence of a Final Four curse is debatable, but there is no denying that a striking number of prominent national semifinal players died prematurely. Any tribute isn't enough when a man is buried before his time. Sauer is the latest to join the following list of Final Four players (cited chronologically) who passed away early, but the deceased left lasting memories:

• Three of Oregon's starting five on the first NCAA championship team in 1939 - guards Bobby Anet and Wally Johansen and center Slim Wintermute - all died in their 40s. Wintermute disappeared in Lake Washington in 1977, a case that never has been solved.

• Center Bill Menke, the third-leading scorer for Indiana's 1940 NCAA champion who supplied a team-high 10 points in the Hoosiers' national semifinal victory over Duquesne, later became a Navy pilot and served in World War II. In January 1945, he was declared missing in action (and presumed dead) when he didn't return from a flight in the Caribbean.

• Thomas P. Hunter, a three-year letterman who was a sophomore member of Kansas' 1940 runner-up, was killed in action against the Japanese on Guam, July 21, 1944, while fighting with the Ninth Marines as a first lieutenant. Hunter was elected posthumously as captain of the Jayhawks' 1945-46 squad that compiled a 19-2 record.

• All 11 regulars on Pitt's 1941 Final Four team participated in World War II and one of them, guard Bob Artman, was killed in action.

• Three of the top seven scorers for Kentucky's first NCAA Tournament and Final Four team in 1942 died during World War II - Mel Brewer (Army second lieutenant/25 years old in France), Ken England (Army captain of ski troop/23 in Italy) and Jim King (Army second lieutenant and co-pilot/24 in Germany).

• Curtis Popham, Texas' co-captain in 1943, was one of seven Longhorns lettermen since the mid-1930s to make the supreme sacrifice during WWII.

• All-American Audie Brindley of 1944 runner-up Dartmouth died of cancer in 1957 at the age of 33.

• Jim Krebs, the leading scorer and rebounder for Southern Methodist's 1956 Final Four squad, was killed in 1965 at the age of 30 in a freak accident. While helping a neighbor clear storm damage, a tree limb fell the wrong way and crushed his skull.

• Gary Bradds, a backup to national player of the year Jerry Lucas for Ohio State's 1962 NCAA runner-up before earning the same award himself two years later, died of cancer in July 1983 when he was 40. Bradds was principal of an elementary school in Bowersville, Ohio, at the time of his death.

• Bill Buntin, the leading rebounder and second-leading scorer (behind Cazzie Russell) for Michigan's Final Four teams in 1964 and 1965, collapsed and died during an informal workout one day after his 26th birthday in May 1968.

• Ken Spain and Theodis Lee, starting frontcourters with All-America Elvin Hayes for Houston's team that entered the 1968 Final Four with an undefeated record, died of cancer. Spain, who overcame cancer after he was first diagnosed with it in 1977, died of the disease 13 years later in October 1990 when he was 44. Lee, who played for the Harlem Globetrotters, was 33 when he passed away in March 1979, one week after the illness was diagnosed.

• Danny Knight, the leading scorer and rebounder for Kansas' 1974 Final Four team, was 24 when he died in June 1977, three weeks after sustaining injuries in a fall down the steps at his home. Knight had been suffering headaches for some time and doctors attributed his death to an aneurysm in the brain.

• Dan Hall, a frontcourt backup from Kentucky's historic recruiting class as a freshman for UK's 1975 NCAA Tournament runner-up, died of an apparent suicide at age 58 the first full week in January 2013. Hall subsequently transferred to Marshall, where he averaged 10.4 ppg and 5.6 rpg in 1976-77 and 1977-78.

• Center Jerome Whitehead, the second-leading rebounder and third-leading scorer for Marquette's 1977 NCAA titlist, was 56 in mid-December 2012 when he was found dead because of chronic alcohol abuse.

• Guard Chad Kinch, the third-leading scorer for UNC Charlotte's 1977 Final Four team as a freshman, died at his parents' home in Cartaret, N.J., from complications caused by AIDS. He passed away on April 3, 1994, the day between the Final Four semifinals and final in Charlotte. The host school happened to be UNC Charlotte. It was the second time Kinch's parents lost a son. Sixteen years earlier, Ray Kinch, a Rutgers football player, was killed in a house fire.

• Forward Glen Gondrezick, the leading rebounder and third-leading scorer for UNLV's 1977 third-place club, died in late April 2009 at the age of 53 due to complications stemming from a heart transplant he received the previous September.

• Center Lewis Brown, the third-leading rebounder and sixth-leading scorer for UNLV's 1977 national third-place team, spent more than 10 years homeless on the streets of Santa Monica, Calif., before passing away in mid-September 2011 at the age of 56. According to the New York Times, family members said he used cocaine with the Rebels. "drugs were his downfall," said his sister.

• Murray State transfer Larry Moffett, the second-leading rebounder for UNLV's 1977 national third-place team, passed away in early May 2011 in Shreveport, La., at the age of 56. He previously was a cab driver in Las Vegas.

• Point guard John Harrell, a point guard for Duke's 1978 runner-up after transferring from North Carolina Central, died of an aortal aneurysm at age 50 in the summer of 2008.

• Orlando Woolridge, a backup freshman in 1978 when Notre Dame made its lone Final Four appearance before he became a scoring specialist in 13 NBA seasons, died at the end of May 2012 at the age of 52 because of a chronic heart condition.

• Matt White, the second-leading rebounder and third-leading scorer for Penn's 1979 Final Four squad as a senior, was fatally stabbed in mid-February 2013 by his wife, who told police she had caught him looking at child pornography. White, the Quakers' all-time leader in field-goal shooting (59.1%), was 55.

• Derek Smith, the leading rebounder and second-leading scorer as a sophomore forward for Louisville's 1980 NCAA champion, died of a heart ailment at age 34 on August 9, 1996, while on a cruise with his family. He was the leading scorer and second-leading rebounder for the Cardinals' 1982 Final Four team before averaging 12.8 ppg and 3.2 rpg in the NBA with five different franchises. His son, Nolan, became a starting guard for Duke's 2010 NCAA titlist.

• Lorenzo Charles, the second-leading rebounder for N.C. State's 1983 champion, provided one of the tourney's most memorable moments with a game-winning dunk against heavily-favored Houston in the final. Working for a limousine and bus company based in Apex, N.C., he was killed in June 2011 when the charter bus the 47-year-old was driving with no passengers aboard crashed along Interstate 40 in Raleigh.

• Melvin Turpin, the leading scorer and second-leading rebounder as a senior for Kentucky's 1984 Final Four team (29-5 record), was 49 and battling diabetes in July 2010 when he committed suicide with a self-inflicted gunshot to the chest.

• Baskerville Holmes, a starting forward who averaged 9.6 points and 5.9 rebounds per game for Memphis State's 1985 Final Four team, and his girlfriend were found shot to death on March 18, 1997 in an apparent murder-suicide in Memphis. He was 32.

• Swingman Don Redden, who averaged 13 points and 4.8 rebounds per game for Louisiana State's 1986 Final Four squad, was 24 when he died in March 1988 of heart disease.

• Armen Gilliam, the leading scorer and rebounder for UNLV's 1987 Final Four team, died on July 5, 2011, while playing basketball in a Pittsburgh area gym. He was 47.

• Guard Phil Henderson, the leading scorer and senior captain of Duke's 1990 NCAA Tournament runner-up, died of cardiac arrest in mid-February 2013 at his home in the Philippines at the age of 44. He was the Blue Devils' second-leading scorer as a junior and sixth-leading scorer as a sophomore for two more Final Four squads.

• Larry Marks, a backup forward for Arkansas' 1990 Final Four squad after being a starter the previous season, died of an apparent heart attack in mid-June 2000 after playing some recreational basketball. He was 33.

• Sean Tunstall, a reserve guard for Kansas' 1991 NCAA Tournament runner-up was shot and killed at age 28 in the parking lot of a recreation center in his native St. Louis on October 16, 1997, in a drug deal gone bad. Tunstall, recruited to KU when Larry Brown was the Jayhawks' coach, had received a prison sentence after pleading guilty to one count of selling cocaine in 1993. "He was one of the few kids I never thought I completely reached," KU coach Roy Williams said.

Harold "Bud" Foster relinquished his spot as Wisconsin's all-time winningest coach last season when Bo Ryan supplanted him. But Foster (265-267 in 25 seasons from 1935-59) still has the longest tenure of any coach with a losing record for an NCAA Division I school. Runner-up in that dubious category is Rick Samuels, who posted a losing mark in 24 major-college campaigns after his initial season with Eastern Illinois was at the DII level.

Fran O'Hanlon (238-261 in 17 seasons with Lafayette) has the longest tenure of any active all-time winningest coach with an overall losing record. Following is a list of retired coaches with stints longer than O'Hanlon for a school at the major-college level yet finishing with a losing mark for that institution:

Coach	School (Years)	Tenure	Record	Pct.	Best Season(s)
Harold "Bud" Foster	Wisconsin (25)	1935-59	265-267	.498	20-3; 1941

*Alley did not coach Furman in the 1949-50 season when he took a sabbatical to work on his master's degree at Columbia.
NOTE: Samuels' first season with EIU (16-11 in 1980-81) was at the DII level.

"I got to buy the groceries and start the meal, but I didn't get to enjoy it," former North Carolina coach Matt Doherty joked about the Tar Heels' 2005 NCAA title. "So that was a little frustrating, but I was very proud of what they accomplished and felt a part of it. And as a result, got some credit for it, too."

It was a role reversal for Doherty, who inherited Carolina's celebrated program from Bill Guthridge and became national coach of the year in 2000-01. This past season, Frank Haith hit the inheritance jackpot at Missouri as successor to Mike Anderson, who had a couple of key seniors originally signed by Quin Snyder help him become national COY three years earlier.

A closer examination of the coaches to profit from someone else's recruits reveals those who assume control of teams and fare well are basically men who go on to establish themselves as premier coaches. Roy Williams twice has been the beneficiary among the following chronological list of individuals who capitalized on someone else's signees in en route to becoming national coach of the year:

Year	National Coach of Year	School	Predecessor	Vital Inherited Players
1959	Eddie Hickey	Marquette	Jack Nagle	Don Kojis, Walt Mangham, Mike Moran
1973	Gene Bartow	Memphis State	Moe Iba	Larry Finch, Ronnie Robinson
1976	Tom Young	Rutgers	Dick Lloyd	Mike Dabney, Phil Sellers

NOTES: Rod Barnes (Mississippi '01), Tony Bennett (Washington State '07), Keno Davis (Drake '08), Bill Guthridge (North Carolina '98) and Bill Hodges (Indiana State '79) were promoted from assistant coach. . . . Finch and Robinson competed on freshman squad in Iba's final season as Memphis State's head coach.

"Man, that's messed up!" This concise summation certainly depicts higher education, which simply isn't what it used to be. Keeping remedial mathematics in mind, the Atlantic 10 Conference has more than that number of members; the Big Ten has more than 10 members and the Big 12 has fewer than 12 members. It would be helpful for sanity's sake if the Big Ten and Big 12 would swap names if only for accuracy before the Big Ten increases to 14 by adding Maryland and Rutgers.

With respect to precise directions and logistics, the Atlantic Coast will feature Boston, Indiana (Notre Dame), Louisville, Pittsburgh and Syracuse in the not-too-distant future; the Atlantic Sun takes in East Tennessee; much of the Big East absorbs flyover country, and the Southeast(ern) extends to the Midlands (Missouri and Texas A&M).

Even the most ardent fan probably can't come anywhere close to naming half of the almost 50 schools switching conferences in 2013-14. Heaven knows how future generations will explain the Big East split. As NFL Hall of Famer Vince Lombardi, who coached freshman basketball with Fordham, would famously say: "What the hell is going on out here?"

More than one-third of the nation's NCAA Division I schools joined new or different conferences thus far this century since the Mountain West was introduced in 1999-2000. And there's more membership maneuvering to come as the Big 12 went from the brink of extinction to possibly adding another school or two; the Horizon League is seeking a replacement for Big East-bound Butler, and the once-proud WAC scrambled to remain solvent in the aftermath of quicky-divorce members and merged with most of the Great West.

When Elon and the College of Charleston departed for the CAA, they became the 31st and 32nd schools to leave the Southern Conference. Following is a school-by-school look at league affiliations over the years:

Kentucky, despite having 12 undergraduates selected in the NBA draft in the last three years under coach John Calipari, still trails North Carolina for most players in this "defector" category. But UK is expected to pass the Tar Heels in 2013 when the Wildcats should again have multiple players leave school early to declare for the NBA draft.

It's debatable whether the undergrads should have returned to school for additional seasoning or even attended college in the first place. Following are the 13 schools with at least 10 defectors listed chronologically since the introduction of hardship cases in 1971:

They are youngsters with a wait problem exemplified by the first 16 selections this year. The NBA draft has become a soap opera that could be called "The Young and the Restless." Even excluding juniors, more than three times as many underclassmen (college sophomores and freshmen plus high school graduates) were chosen in the first and second rounds over the last 13 years in the 21st Century as there were covering the first 29 years of early-entry candidates from 1971 through 1999.

Jeers to those so-called experts for second-guessing the majority of college players with eligibility remaining who declare for the NBA draft. Far too many observers must digest pablum that the time isn't right for most of the undergraduates because they still need to mature. Do skeptics genuinely believe that these younger athletes need additional seasoning that can be gained only in college? Of course, it's a difficult adjustment from amateur hoops to the pros, but it would be that way even if a player had six or more years of college eligibility.

Before accepting the party line from self-serving administrators that undergraduates are making monumental mistakes, remember that the majority of the premier players in the NBA left college early. More than half of the All-NBA first- and second-team selections since the 1979-80 season departed school with eligibility remaining, including all five first-teamers in 1988-89 (Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Karl Malone and Hakeem Olajuwon). The 12-man roster and three alternates for the 2012 U.S. Olympic squad all were undergraduate selections in the NBA draft.

Moreover, it is not exactly a dollars-over-diplomas issue. There is little doubt that some mercenaries weren't interested in academic pursuits. Why should they take up precious space in a classroom? The bottom line: Elite players down the line faced with deciding between forgoing college or playing for pay should see both sides of the issue, not just the superficial assessments of pious commentators and pro executives.

Some were ready and some were not. The selection of Anthony Davis as #1 overall was a no-brainer but the pick of Kentucky teammate Michael Kidd-Gilchrist as #2 is debatable. We'll see if MJ's choice of Kidd-Gilchrist for Charlotte continues his string of executive decisions that have been as dreadful as he was dynamic as a player. Remember: Jordan already is credited with the worst #1 pick overall among undergrads when the Washington Wizards tabbed high schooler Kwame Brown in 2001. Following are year-by-year alphabetical lists of the undergraduate draftees who "cut class" and were high selections by the NBA or ABA:
