I'm surprised that UCONN coach Geno Auriemma's name hasn't been mentioned here. Before he took over at UCONN 21 years ago they had only one season with a winning record in their history. Since then they have won 5 national championships and had 8 final four appearances. And he's still a long ways from being done. My guess is he'll finish his career as the alltime winning women's head coach, and may end up with more titles than any coach.

Notching 1,000 wins seems like an unfathomable number for a coach in college basketball, but on Sunday afternoon Mike Krzyzewski reached that milestone when Duke beat St. John’s 77-68 at Madison Square Garden. This milestone just further proves that Krzyzewski is the greatest basketball coach we have seen college or professional.
Coach K started his career at Army with middling success before taking over as the head coach of Duke, and even in his first three years with the Blue Devils things didn’t go well. His record after three seasons was 38-47, and it is crazy to think that if he would have started like that in this day and age he may never have had the opportunity to continue coaching at Duke. In his fourth season though, he turned things around by going 24-10 and never looked back.
Before Coach K came along, Duke was not even on the map as a basketball program. But in his 35 seasons as coach, he has not only put the program on the map, he has turned it into a powerhouse. Duke is now considered one of, if not the best program in college basketball. They regularly are one of the best teams in the nation, they are always getting top recruits and perhaps the best way to know how good the program is is by seeing how much fans of college basketball hate them. You know you’re at the top of the game when fans root for your team to lose, and Duke is at that level kind of like the New York Yankees are.
Coach K is a great guy and there is nothing to hate about him, but he has created such a powerhouse in Durham, N.C. that people can’t help but hate the Blue Devils.
Coach K isn’t just great because of his work at Duke though. He has been the head coach of the USA basketball team since 2006, and in that time he has won two Olympic gold medals and two gold medals in the FIBA World Cup. Some might say that any coach would have won with the players he has been coaching, but that is certainly not true. As the Cleveland Cavaliers have shown, it is not easy to get star players to come together and play as a team, but Coach K has been able to do that.
The accolades that Coach K has received in his career are well known, with four NCAA Championships and two Olympic gold medals among other things. But his ability to coach both young college players and grown men from the NBA is something that shouldn’t go unnoticed and may be his greatest accomplishment.
Krzyzewski could have easily gone to the NBA and given that a shot, but he has always been loyal to Duke since he got there in 1980 and in doing so has built an extraordinary program. 1,000 wins is nothing more than a number, but it just further cements the fact that Coach K is one of a kind. Even though he is nowhere close to retiring, he will go down as the greatest basketball coach of all time when he does call it quits.

Is Pat Summit the coach who was involved in a 10-player lesbian gang bang where she got electrocuted with a cattle
prod that sent her off into her greatest orgasm of all-time and also threw off her electrical circuit which triggered her dementia?
If you read the local news on that one, two of her players in that gang bang also got their brains fried in the incident. The media has been
hush-hush about it, though.
very much the same reason I voted for my boy, the Maker of Men
Jimmy had fewer burger boys his entire career than K and Cal And Self and Roy have on every roster every year
Okafor came in a 100+ recruit
Armstrong 300+
MSG & Ray Ray 50+
everyone else was afraid Caron was too much trouble because of his youth
Calhoun put them all into the first round, not one of them arrived a first round pick
Gay & RIP were two of his nine burger boys
Kemba was right around number 25 in the country
what I said is simple a stone cold fact, Jim Calhoun landed 9 All Americans, "9". He won with much lower rated recruits, he molded them into NBA players
last year they became the 2nd team in history to win without one high school all american
