This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Those have 3... by cbiebel

And yes, it was just the 3 coaches who have more than 3. It's actually amazing to me that it's just them, and really puts into perspective that 5 year FF streak McGraw had (that was completely overshadowed by UConn's streak).

Those active coaches who have 3 are: Coale, Friese, Hatchell, Mulkey, and Walz.

DomerDuck got the four nonactive coaches who have had more than 3.

The nonactive coaches who had 3 are: Joe Ciampi (Auburn), Jody Conradt (Texas), Debbie Ryan (UVA) (One of Auriemma's former bosses) Paul Sanderford (Western Kentucky), and Linda Sharp (Southern Cal).

BTW, of the 5 coaches listed above, only 1 appearance of the 15 was after UConn's 1st NC (1995): Texas in 2003.

The Pokey Chatman (LSU) situation was kind of weird, since she coached 3 seasons, but didn't coach the team during her third season's Final Four, although I think she might have coached them in the Final Four in the year before she was officially hired, but they credit it to Sue Gunter, who got sick during the season.
