Why is this
2005 - Pat Summitt, coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols (women's college basketball), becomes the all-time leader in victories for both men's and women's college basketball, getting her 880th win as coach of the team.
considered worthy of being on this page. I've never heard of the woman and I guess most people outside the University of Tennessee do either. And not only is this on here but for example Sir Alex Furgusson, one of footballs most successful managers, leading Manchester United into his 1000th game in charge against Lyon on 23 November 2004 (first manager to every manage that many games at one club) doesn't.
