And don't forget Lefty Driesell (Davidson, Maryland), Hank Iba (Oklahoma State), Phog Allen (Kansas), Ray Meyer (DePaul), Eddie Sutton (Creighton, Arkansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma State), Denny Crum (Louisville) and Jim Boeheim (Syracuse).
Some stats:
Most career wins - Dean Smith (879)
Best win % - Rupp (82.2%)
Avg wins per season - Dean Smith (24.4)
I've got Dean Smith as the best of all time, not just statisically, but innovatively, he was the best. Iba, Allen, Rupp and Wooden are also up there for their strategic contibutions to the game.
