I ran across this while cleaning up the page Jerry Tarkanian, which asserted that Tark had the most wins across all divisions. Since this apparently includes Riverside Community College and PCC, Gene Bess's 1000+ wins seem worth noting and would seem to contradict that claim.

I recall reading about a DII or DIII coach, at a small private school on the West Coast, I think, with an insane winning record and/or percentage, but I couldn't track that down. Is there a collection of "winningest" coaches by all the various possible criteria?

Of course, Pat Summitt's 900+ wins with the Lady Vols are impressive by any standard, and she's most likely nowhere near done. -Dmh
