Coach and wrestler matched from Roy Phillips '34 (1975) - Hall of Fame - Franklin & Marshall College, Franklin & Marshall College Athletics (Hall of Fame bio of Roy Phillips '34 (inducted 1975, 'Wrestler and Coach'), body text: the paragraph beginning 'In the 145-pound weight class, Phillips won 28 out of 30' and the one-sentence paragraph after it ('Phillips ultimately served F&M as the varsity wrestling coach from 1949 to 1967.'); the excerpt spans the end of the first paragraph into the second).
How these are counted
- NCAA tournaments are the championship years in which W. Roy Phillips was the established head coach of a team with entrants. They are not years of employment; there were no championships in 1943–45 or 2020.
- A year inside the span with no established coach is listed but not counted. A year with two head coaches counts in full for both.
- Team titles are official NCAA titles from the published standings (1928, 1931 and 1933 have none). Top four and top ten come from the same standings.
- Entries count each wrestler once per tournament; All-Americans are counted as each era awarded them; wins and losses include forfeit, default and disqualification results; falls exclude forfeits.
- The head coach for each year, with sources, is on that year's program page. Report a correction.
