Four Coaches With > 200 Wins and 6 NCAA Tourneys at 2 Different Schools
February 13th, 2016 - 15:36
Fran Dunphy has had only one Top 20 team in 27 seasons of coaching (Temple in 2009-10), but he is in exclusive company. Dunphy, who was bench boss for Penn 17 years prior to joining the Owls, is one of only four Division I mentors compiling more than 200 victories and at least seven NCAA Tournament appearances with two different universities.
"I've just been coaching a long time," said a modest Dunphy, who could join Roy Williams as the only coaches with 300 triumphs for two DI schools if he maintains the same success rate five more campaigns with the Owls. Following is an alphabetical list of Dunphy, Williams and the two other coaches in this select circle (Rick Pitino made six straight NCAA playoff appearances with Kentucky in the mid-1990s):
| Coach | Subject Seasons | Two Different Schools With More Than 200 Victories (Minimum of Seven NCAA Playoff Appearances) |
|---|---|---|
| Fran Dunphy | 27 (1989-90 through 2015-16) | Penn (1993-94-95-99 and 2000-02-03-05-06)/Temple (2008-09-10-11-12-13-16) |
| Lou Henson | 38 (1966-67 through 1995-96, 1997-98 through 1999-00 and 2000-01 through 2004-05) | New Mexico State (1967-68-69-70-71-75-99)/Illinois (1981-83-84-85-86-87-88-89-90-93-94-95) |
| Eddie Sutton | 27 (1974-75 through 1984-85 and 1990-91 through 2005-06) | Arkansas (1977-78-79-80-81-82-83-84-85)/Oklahoma State (1991-92-93-94-95-98-99 and 2000-01-02-03-04-05) |
| Roy Williams | 28 (1988-89 through 2015-16) | Kansas (1990-91-92-93-94-95-96-97-98-99 and 2000-01-02-03)/North Carolina (2004-05-06-07-08-09-11-12-13-14-15-16) |
