winningest active coaches in tennessee?

[badger]

Rick insell of Shelbyville(girls) won his 700th game early this season. Who are some of the winningest boys coaches in Tennessee (active)?

[Wimpy]

Coach Jim Whitby

Jerry Peters has around 800 wins I believe...coached when my dad played in 72, and still coaches for MUS.

The old dude at Happy Valley. Man he has got to have close to 1,000 wins by now!

[skunk]

Bobby Snyder @ Daniel Boone High School passed the 800 win mark this season.

The "old dude" @ Happy Valley is Charlie Bayless. He doesn't yet have 1000 victories, but his friend, the late Buck Van Huss had (I think) 1026 victories when he died, June 30, 1990. The "old dude" sure can coach, though.

Old man river at HVHS may not have the best team in the conference but he will find a way to put up a good fight

[CHHS72]

On the boys side they are Charlie Bayless at Happy Valley and Bobby Snyder at Daniel Boone. This is per TSSAA.

 

There is a coach in Memphis that has more total wins than Snyder, but several of his wins were with girls teams.

Charlie was a remarkable coach and still is. He has won at every level. I don't know how many games he has won , but I know that every kid he coached is blessed to have had him. He is one of Tennessee's best all-time coaches.

[Opperman]

He's not one of the top five or so yet, but Hubie Smith is 440-190 in 18 or 19 years at Bartlett (can't remember which).

Coach Bayless has won a conference 865 varsity mens basketball games and has won a title in every mens sport at Happy Valley. At one time he coached the Baseball, Football, Track, golf, and Basketball teams. He is a remarkable man and I hope at 80 yrs old I am still able to run like he runs up and down the court with the boys at practice

Counting his early years at a HS in Nashville (can't remember the name)and @ Aquinas College and now @ Nashville Christian, Charlie Anderson (who is in the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame) has to be one of the TN boys winningest active coaches. I am pretty sure he has won more than 700 games. He is a great coach and a great motivator. He has given hundreds of kids opportunities that some people would not take a chance on. He has taught kids that nothing is free in life. He was a real class act and I salute him for all he has done for us "have nots". I am glad to call him a friend, one of my role models, but best of all.....my former coach! Go get 'em next year coach, whoever don't jump out on defensive drill's in your first practice next year, run 'em till there tounge drags the floor...just for old times sake !!!!!!!

Man i remember last year when i played....in the first practice he asked us who the best defender was and nobody jumped out. The next thing i know we're running lol. Great coach indeed and i was privelaged to get to practice with him for a year and play JV. I believe this year he totalled his 900th win overall so he is probably the most winningest coach right now. If not, I'd like to know who is...
