Tim Burns (Napoleon's World)

Timothy Patrick Burns (born September 4, 1960) is an American collegiate basketball coach currently coaching the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish men's basketball team, a position he has held since the 1998-99 season. Prior to Notre Dame, Burns was the head coach at Western Cuba University from 1992 to 1998, where he took the Sugarcanes to four consecutive NCAA tournaments, with one team advancing to the Final Four and two others all the way to the Elite Eight. At Notre Dame, he has won three national championships out of a total of five Final Fours (results of the 2012 Final Four pending), and has never had a losing season or missed the NCAA tournament in his time there. While Notre Dame was investigated for improper benefits under his tenure, no formal charges from the NCAA were given and no penalties were assessed.
