200 Wins

Learned a couple of things as I researched two coaches in Division III that got their 200th wins last weekend...

  • Prior to this year, 76 coaches in all divisions had won 200 games
  • So far this year, 5 coaches have already achieved this milestone:  Mike Ayers at Wofford, K.C. Keeler at Sam Houston State, Steve Johnson at Bethel (MN), Larry Kindbom at Washington Univ. (MO), and Rich Lackner at Carnegie Mellon (PA)
  • Three more coaches will or should reach 200 wins in their coaching careers before the year is over:  Nick Saban (199), Bill Snyder (197), and Jim Margraff (196)

Pretty impressive feat I would say, especially since two (Johnson and Lackner) did it at their Alma Maters, and four will do it while coaching one school:  Johnson and Lackner, along with Bill Snyder (Kansas State) and Jim Margraff (Johns Hopkins).
