Dave Rubio has the chance to reach his 500th Division I win this weekend, but he’d rather you didn’t ask him about it. In fact, he didn’t even know the milestone was approaching until last week.
“I was hoping we were going to avoid that,” Rubio said when asked about the looming accomplishment. “If you’re in any one place long enough, you’re going to get a pretty large number. Here I am on 27 years. I think for most coaches, you really don’t think about the wins and losses. You’re kind of in the moment of trying to prepare for the next.
