I'm not hung up on basic as the "real" mark or whatever, it's just the easiest way to compare. If this is correct, no one is within 0.18 of Bolt's basic best from 15 years ago besides Coleman. Coleman and Yohan are the only active sprinters to have gone below 9.80 basic.
Apparently Kerleys 9.79 in the 1st round of Worlds in 2022 converts to stay at 9.79 in the calculator.
I must admit I forgot Powells Lusanne 9.72 converts so well. Technically that relegates Gay to third on the basic list...but I still say his full resume makes him #2. As far as the sun 9.80, Kerley may be the only one you missed.

Thanks - yep, missed that one.
Just noticed: Kerley's 6.39 split for 60m in the 2021 final probably makes him the fastest non-Bolt guy taller than 6'2 for 60m ever.
