ALL-TIME Coaches (D-II)– Top 40 (or so) with at least 140 wins (as of July 2017)

Editor’s Notes; Again, please note the follow are win totals for before the 2017-18 season! Thus some active coaches will have more wins when the past season is included. Also the wins that count are for a coach while he is coaching at a D-II school. Thus if a coach has been at more than one school then some of the wins may not be included. Yet even if a coach has been at only one school and that school changes levels during that time only the wins from the time when the school was in D-II will count. Now, all wins from before the 1962-1963 season count as D-I wins since the D-II did not start until then. D-III started in the 1973-1974 season. So if that doesn’t complicate it enough some would say well, if it is a D-II school and they beat a D-III school then it should not count as a D-II win but what about when a D-III school beats a D-I school should that count as 1 or 2 or 3 wins? Oh, no! So far we have record of almost 1,200 school teams and over 4,200 head coaches and over 26,000 team-seasons and over 140,000 matches! We have not had any accounting firms volunteering to do all the figuring. Ii is a headache just imagining it, so accept this tentative listing with a couple of coaches with ??? by their totals for now. As always we welcome input and information.
