	Maybe accept coach K for Mike Krzyzewski, since he has the hardest last name ever.

	Sporcle Fail. Updated to only Div I coaches, and added Men's disclaimer as well.

	Spelling mistake on the coach with 741 wins. The first 'e' should be an 'a'.

	Wow, John Wooden is not on that list. I'm shocked (though it appears that he just missed it....671 victories)

	Vernon Gonsalves:	Nov 25th, 2008 at 20:11 GMT	8 points
	slw, I echo that. I typed Wooden 3 times stubbornly. After 10 championships, that's really hard to believe. I only got 6, and Rupp and Haskins, only because of "Glory Road" (LOL @ Mark, I typed "Coach K" in the hopes that I wouldn't have to spell it. I guess by that point, Sporcle Admin had already made the change.

	7/20 wow im terrible at this.... im almost always on point about sports quizzes...

	kevin:	Nov 25th, 2008 at 21:09 GMT	2 points
	I'm shocked at how bad i was at this. No gene cady, john wooden, bob huggins, gary williams. I expect that roy williams, rick pitino, and billy donovan will be there eventually

	tobinw:	Nov 25th, 2008 at 21:46 GMT	3 points
	I tried every possible spelling of K's name imaginable, except the right one. Ugh.

	Wooden probably isn't on the list because they didn't play nearly as many regular season games back then. Plus, the NCAA tournament was shorter.

	FYI Jerry Tarkanian is not an active coach and retired in 2002, not 2008.

	Camden:	Dec 4th, 2008 at 02:15 GMT	2 points
	Wooden also isn't on the list because he didn't coach THAT long like some of these guys. He was just very, very successful while he was coaching.

	Rikster2:	Jan 3rd, 2009 at 03:38 GMT	1 point
	I was a little surprised Gary Williams wasn't there - he has won everywhere. But I checked - he just won his 600th last season

	drhaase:	Jan 13th, 2009 at 04:50 GMT	1 point
	what a hard quiz...would have gotten 8 but i spelled Olson wrong...can't believe Wooden isn't on here

	Kevin:	Mar 9th, 2009 at 08:25 GMT	1 point
	I wonder what the point of the ten-year minimum is? If somebody somehow cracked 675 wins in LESS than 10 years, I'd say that's very impressive, and worthy of recognition. ;-)

	Jim Phelan coached at Mt. St. Mary's, isn't that a DII school??

	ekedolphin:	Mar 28th, 2009 at 05:19 GMT	1 point
	"Coach K" is now acceptable for Krzyzewski. Good idea.

	Chris_Breezy:	Apr 20th, 2009 at 17:33 GMT	1 point
	whoo whoo got them all it took me forever to think of crum for some reason and i am glad that you can type in coach k

	elgato10x:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 04:37 GMT	0 points
	i think this should be wins in D1 only...not "minimum 10 years coached in D1". Jim Phelan won most of his games in D2. @Camden, Wooden coached for nearly 30 years, but UCLA didnt really become a powerhouse until the mid 60's.

	This really needs to be updated.

	beau99:	Apr 22nd, 2010 at 03:59 GMT	1 point
	@drhaase: Nope. It's been D-I as long as I can remember.

	It's kind of cheating, but any spelling questions type into the google window (top left on my computer) and it will anticipate what you're searching and give you the correct spelling.

	PK9:	Oct 4th, 2010 at 23:22 GMT	0 points
	1. The * denotes active head coach isn't being used. 2. "Minimum 10 head coaching season in Division I" is useless because it is impossible to get 675+ victories unless you coach over 22 seasons, as well as being grammatically incorrect. 3. The list needs to be expanded until John Wooden is on it.
