HCBS started this season at #24 (729-223; 0.766) on the NCAA's Men's Division 1 CBB All Times Win list.
He has already passed Temple great John Chaney (741-312) for #23 this season.
Monday night he tied KU's own Forrest Clare (Phog) Allen for #22 with 746 wins.
#21 Bo Ryan (747-233) will be passed with 2 more wins, and #20 John Beilein (754-425) with 9.
He will need a total of 27 wins this season to pass another conference coaching legend and Oklahoma State icon --
Henry Iba (755-340), currently #19 on the list behind John Calipari. (Squid as of today is officially 757-235, not counting all the wins that were vacated by his various teams over the years).
If Self's charges can rack up 31 or more wins this season, HCBS will end up the season at #18 with 760 wins or more, passing Western Kentucky legend Ed Diddle (759-302, WKU1922-1964).
Current #16 Lou Henson (779-412) is too far ahead for Self to catch this year (50 wins away at the start of the season), but if all goes well, Self (and most likely Squid) will pass him next season.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain "Innocents Abroad"
