Just a little fun trivia for you tonight someone was talking the other day about Coach Rupp and the fact that he was the only coach ever to get to 876 wins with less than 200 losses. He lost 190 games and had a winning percentage of over 82%. If he had maintained that winning percentage and had coached as many games as Mike Krzyzewski he would be leading him in all-time wins by 89 games. You're never gonna hear the Talking Heads or the know it all ever tell you that bit of trivia. Coach Rupp was the best

Those stats are a big reason we hold win percentage lead by a very comfortable margin.

Before Rupp, 205-91, 69%

Rupp, 876-190, 82%

All UK coaches since Rupp, 1272-400, 76%

He was the best at the time. Hard to compare him or any coach from different eras.
