All-time coaching comparisons in postseason
|
By Mike Douchant
All-Time Coaching Records in National Postseason Competition
(Minimum of 20 tournament games through 2000)
Duke's Mike Krzyzewski would need to capture the next four NCAA Tournament
titles to overhaul UCLA's John Wooden as the winningest coach by percentage in
national postseason play. Connecticut's Jim Calhoun is the only coach in college
basketball history to win at least two-thirds of his games in both the NCAA
Tournament and NIT for coaches with more than 10 decisions in each event. Former
North Carolina coach Dean Smith is the only mentor in college annals to win at
least 70 percent of his contests in both the NCAA playoffs and NIT with at least
10 verdicts in each event.

*In the mid-1970s, the NCAA introduced a short-lived,
eight-team tournament ostensibly to showcase league runners-up but principally
to erode the NIT's influence. The tourney was called the Collegiate
Commissioners Association Tournament in 1974, when Indiana won the title at St.
Louis, and then changed to the National Commissioners Invitational Tournament in
1975, when Drake won the title at Louisville. Records for high-profile coaches
in the event included: Fred Snowden (2-1 with Arizona), Ned Wulk (0-1 with
Arizona State), Bob Knight (3-0 with Indiana), Jack Hartman (0-1 with Kansas
State), Norm Stewart (0-1 with Missouri), Fred Schaus (1-1 with Purdue), Bob
Boyd (2-2 with Southern California) and Ray Mears (0-2 with Tennessee).
