Candrea poised to become softball's all-time winningest coach
When Mike Candrea coached his 1,400th victory at Arizona on Friday, it put him closer to college softball’s record of 1,457, set by retired Fresno State coach Margie Wright. Candrea is likely to become the sport’s all-time winner early in the 2016 season. He is being pursued by 58-year-old Michigan coach Carol Hutchins, who had 1,359 victories through Friday. Wright won one NCAA title at Fresno State; Hutchins has one national championship at Michigan. Candrea has eight at Arizona.
