A little pre-emptive research, shall we, concerning the fewest career victories owned by a lacrosse coach who won the NCAA tournament?
The cause for the pre-emption, of course, is John Tillman. The Maryland coach is 33-23 in his four-year career, including 13-4 in his first season with the Terrapins. Maryland meets Virginia in Monday’s title game.

Interestingly, Tillman would only have the seventh-fewest victories for a title-winning coach should the Terps win. It would, however, be the second-fewest victories for a coach in the last 20 seasons; John Desko had 27 victories when he won the first of his five national titles in 2000.
