I'm writing a school paper on college basketball and I'm helpful if anyone knows who the coach with the most wins is? I'd really appreciate your help!
The coach who currently holds the record for most wins in NCAA Division I men's basketball is Mike Krzyzewski of Duke University, often referred to simply as "Coach K". As of the end of the 2020-2021 season, Coach K had amassed over 1,170 wins across more than 40 seasons at the helm of the Duke basketball program. He is known for his extraordinary leadership and his impressive ability to develop players, many of whom have gone on to have successful careers in the NBA.
Please note that this information is current up until the end of the 2020-2021 season, so you might want to check for the most recent statistics just to make sure. Coach K has announced his retirement at the end of the 2021-2022, before which he will presumably earn additional wins. His final win tally will therefore be available in Spring 2022 after the conclusion of the 2021-2022 basketball season.
