Winning one game is hard. What about winning 900 of them? Only a few coaches in the history of college basketball -- men's or women's -- have eclipsed the 900-win total. Pat Summitt was the first to do it.
The former Tennessee Lady Volunteers coach was also the first men's or women's coach in college basketball history to win 1,000 games. Summitt accomplished the feat on Feb. 5, 2009, when her Tennessee squad beat Georgia 73-43 in Knoxville.
Now, longtime UConn women's coach Geno Auriemma is approaching the record for most wins in college basketball history. Here's a look at the winningest college basketball coaches -- both men's and women's -- of all time:
Tara VanDerveer (W): 1,216-271 (.818)
Geno Auriemma (W): 1,216-162 (.882)
Mike Krzyzewski (M): 1,202-368 (.766)
Jim Boeheim (M): 1,015-441 (.697)*
Pat Summitt (W): 1,098-208 (.841)
Barbara Stevens (W): 1,058-291 (.784)
C. Vivian Stringer (W): 1,055-426 (.712)
Sylvia Hatchell (W): 1,023-405 (.716)
Muffet McGraw (W): 936-293 (.762)
Bob Huggins (M): 935-414 (.693)
Jim Calhoun (M): 920-397 (.699)
