If you caught the two "winningest coaches" posts you'll immediately spot the inaccuracies in the following MSNBC.com article (well, the bold might help):

It was win No. 871 for [Bobby] Knight, who is five shy of tying Adolph Rupp for second place on the career list. He needs nine more victories to surpass Dean Smith for the most victories in Division I history.

Probably because Knight is approaching Smith's total, it's an error echoed in Ross Atkin's "We're Just Fans" November 8th blog entry.

Basketball coach Bob Knight enters his sixth season at Texas Tech on Saturday and his 40th overall in countdown mode. With just 11 more victories, he'll go into the record books with 880, surpassing the only two major-college coaches who have more: Dean Smith, who retired with 879 in 1997, and the late Adolph Rupp, with 876.

The error in both stories? The oft-missed qualifier. It is a men's basketball record. Tennessee's Pat Summitt who, as far as I can tell, coaches at the Division I level and at a "major-college" has 913 wins and counting.

Just to be clear, there was a ton of press trumpeting Summitt as the leader in both women's and men's college basketball when she broke Smith's mark. And this kind of mistake has happened before. When Rick Pitino led his third school to the Final Four, the press repeatedly call him the first coach to do so in NCAA history. Wrong. That honor goes to C. Vivian Stringer.
