Coach and wrestler matched from Bill Garland, National Wrestling Hall of Fame (nwhof.org) (NWHOF bio of Moorhead State coach Bill Garland (The Silver Fox; 1964 NAIA title), biographical paragraph near the end beginning "Bill, the son of Jack and Pearl Garland". The same page, about this coach alone, says he "came to Moorhead State in 1958 and coached until 1986.").
How these are counted
- NCAA tournaments are the championship years in which Bill Garland 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.
