This origin post prepares the W-L tracker thread for the.AY2025-26 season.
Having passed Phog last season to become the winningest head coach in KANSAS Men's Basketball program history, and trailing Roy by 87 wins to become the KANSAS coach with the most total career wins on the NCAA's ATW D1 Men's Basketball Coaching list, the only milestone Self can reach in AY2025-26 in terms of W-L record is to reach 11th place on the ATW D1 Men's Coaches list, passing
#13 Rollie Massimino (816 wins),
#12 Jim Phelan (830 wins) and
#11 Cliff Ellis (831).
As I write this on 2025-03-20, John Calipari (834) and Rick Barnes (834) are tied at #9, and #8 Adolph Rupp (876 wins) is too far ahead for any of the three active coaches to realistically pass him in AY2025-26.
1 = Wins remaining for Bill to
pass former Villanova coach and NCAA Champion Rollie Massimino for sole claim to 13th place on the
ATW D1 Men's Coaches list.
84 = Wins remaining for Bill to reach
total career win #900
87 = Wins remaining for Bill to tie Roy as
THE winningest KANSAS Head Coach for TOTAL CAREER
91 = Wins remaining for Bill to reach
KU career win #700
