2020 Top ALL-TIME College Coaches Dual Wins

TDR Editor’s Notes ; For the first time in 40 years there is a new leader on this list of head coaches with career dual meet wins. Pat Pecora moved past Dale Thomas with his team’s 22-12 win over Mercyhurst University on February 7th. Listed here are the top 29 coaches all with at least 400 career wins. John Smitth of Oklahoma State moved into the top 20 this past season and could well pass several more coaches next season. Smith is the top active Division I coach. Roger Crebs of Lycoming College is the third active coach in this group and the top Division III coach.
