May 10th, 2012 - 7:22

North Carolina A&T State isn't expected to participate in seven straight NCAA playoffs like it did from 1982 through 1988. But there was a sigh of relief when Cy Alexander returned to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference as coach for the Aggies. He became South Carolina State's all-time winningest coach with 277 victories in a 16-year stint from 1987-88 through 2002-03.

Jim Calhoun is the all-time winningest coach for both Northeastern and Connecticut. Alexander, one of 17 current coaches to be bench boss of multiple schools in the same conference, joins the following alphabetical list of active head coaches who are the all-time winningest mentors for another NCAA Division I school:
