Bones McKinney has by far the best record of any Wake Forest basketball coach in the ACC Tournament, and the only other coach with a winning record is his predecessor Murray Greason.

McKinney is tied with Dave Odom for most Championships with 2 apiece (the only four in school history).

Odom’s record is greatly improved by Tim Duncan, as his teams that Duncan were not a part of won only one tournament game.

Jackie Murdock and Dino Gaudio are the only coaches in Wake Forest history to never win an ACC Tournament game.

Barring a miraculous run this year, the present decade will be the worst performance in school history in the ACC Tournament. The 1960s were by far the best, followed by the 1990s.
