Three active coaches have winning percentages over .800:
Purdue's Kristy Curry entered the year with a career winning percentage .814. (Only coaches with five full years are counted). However, as of 29 January, Purdue is 10-8 so her lifetime percentage has dipped below .800. If Purdue runs the table in the regular season, and goes deep into the tournament, she could end the year above .800, but running the table in the tough Big Ten would be a major accomplishment.
No one is close enough to join this club for the next three years, so it will remain exclusive, with Pat Summitt and Jody Conradt the only members until at least the 2007-2008 season.
Congratulations to C. Vivian Stringer for winning number 700 on December 8 2004 against Princeton.
No other coach has a shot at joining this club this year.
Congratulations Debbie Ryan!on win number 600 against James Madison on December 29,2004.
