A couple interesting facts about the 3 winningest active coaches.
- Calhoun is the oldest, at 67. Boeheim is 65 and K is 63.
- Calhoun started coaching in 1972, K in 1975, Jimmy B in 1976.
It will likely take Boeheim 2 more years to pass Dean Smith as the coach with the most wins at any one school. Jimmy B has 829 wins at Syracuse compared to Dean's 879 at UNC. By comparison, K has 795 wins at Duke.

Which raises the interesting question of whether K will ever pass Boeheim for wins at one school. If he coaches even one season longer than Jim, his odds are decent. If he doesn't, it would probably take anywhere from 5-8 years of both of them coaching at their recent win levels for K to overtake him.

You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke
