Coaches in OT games

You may recall our recent ranking off all-time ACC coaches with at least five years in the conference, based on their record in close games — those decided by five points or fewer or in overtime. One reader wondered what the list would look like if we looked only at overtime results. Obviously, some coaches were involved in far more than others, so there's no special meaning here.
