Jim Boeheim v. Bob Knight

Wins - Boeheim 903+ to Knight's 902

Winning Percentage - Boeheim .748 to Knight's .709

Most Recent Title - Boeheim 2003 to Knight 1987

Championships - Knight 3 (1976, 1981, 1987) to Boeheim's 1

Final 4 Appearances - Knight 5 to Boeheim's 3.


Knight's coaching stats are slightly skewed due to his rather pedestrian numbers at Army and Texas Tech, but even his .735 winning percentage at Indiana is worse than Boeheim's overall mark.

Verdict - Boeheim overall better regular season coach; Knight better at closing the deal.  And Knight's far inferior Indiana team beat Boeheim's NBA roster in the 1987 Final.
