TOP 10
1. JIM FOX, Kings TV (FSN)
For the good of the team, find the plaid jacket and wear it often. Last year: No. 1.
2. MIKE MONTGOMERY, USC basketball TV (FSN)
The former Stanford coach has more than court-cred. He quickly communicates matchup problems and strategy issues before they happen rather than acknowledging them afterward. And coaches around the Pac-10 trust him with insider information that he injects into the broadcast at opportune times. He's the surprise entrant in this year's poll, but no surprise if he moves onto a bigger job next season - in broadcasting or coaching. Last year: Not ranked.
