    How these are counted

    • NCAA tournaments are the championship years in which W. Austin Bishop 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.
