I don't know if either of these qualifies as a "long-time great", but... In terms of someone who consistently has good teams that don't get the big one, I'd say Bob Huggins. In terms of longevity, I'd say John Chaney.

Huggins has consistently good teams? More of a second-tier coach; don't think he'll ever get a title.

I don't expect him to win one, either, but his teams consistently make the Big Dance. I said "consistently good", not "consistently good enough to threaten for the title year in and year out."
And has thou slain the Jabberwock, Jeremy Chapman?

Sutton is the only one that really comes to my mind.
If not for the fallout from Lenny Bias's death, Lefty Driesell would be on that list, too (assuming he wouldn't have won a title in the intervening years). He's only three years older than Olson and five years older than Sutton.
