Notes |
Denny Crum became John Wooden's assistant and chief recruiter at UCLA in 1968. He was also generally considered heir apparent to the head coaching job when Wooden retired, but in 1971 Crum became head coach at the University of Louisville. Louisville has been a national power throughout Crum's tenure. He achieved his 300th victory in the second game of his thirteenth season at the school, a mark surpassed only by Everett Case at North Carolina State. Although he uses the zone press and fast break style he learned at UCLA, Crum generally allows his players more freedom to operate on their own. Through the 1997-98 season, Crum had a 625-253 record for a .712 winning percentage. He ranks 18th all-time in victories. |
