After reading the Nov. 16th issue of The Chronicle celebrating Coach K’s accomplishments, I’m not sure which is the more remarkable feat: the winning of 903 games or the fact that The Chronicle’s editors completely forgot about women’s basketball. While using quotes like “greatest coach in college basketball history” and “winningest coach in Division I history” the paper seems to ignore the fact that at the University of Tennesse there is a coach with 168 more wins, 85 fewer losses, and twice as many national championships. It is important to celebrate accomplishments, but lets make sure to put them in their proper perspective.
