Obviously a great achievement, and he's obviously a great coach. BUT...

They are calling him the winningiest college basketball coach, period, and I don't think he would have won that many games if he coached Men's basketball. The women's game is a different sport and there wasn't (and really still isn't) nearly as much parity in WBB as there is in MBB. There is definitely more parity now than when Geno started, but we still see quite a few 100-22 type blowouts in WBB whereas we rarely see them in the men's game.
