I did a post this spring looking at Galesburg boys basketball coaching history. This past week, a local newspaper posted a list of the “5 Top Streaks Coaches in Wins.” The newspaper’s list was NOT accurate, so I decided to repost the correct list of GHS coaches with most wins, and also add the top WB6 coaches in terms of wins.
Galesburg HS Coaches With Most Wins at GHS
1- John Thiel 390 (18 years, 1955-1973)
2- Gerald Phillips 331 (21 years, 1929-1950)
3- Mike Reynolds 218 (11 years, 2008-2019)
4- Barry Swanson 203 (12 years, 1979-1984 & 1989-1996)
5- Mike Owens 65 (4 years, 1973-1977)
6- John Gillespie 64 (4 years, 1923-1927)
7- Mike Miller 63 (3 years, 1996-1999)
WB6 Coaches With Most Wins At One School
1- Don Morris 491 (Alleman)
2- Duncan Reid 469 (Rock Island)
3- John Thiel 398 (Galesburg)
4- Thom Sigel 375 (Rock Island)
5- Gene Hall 364 (Sterling)
6- Sherril Hanks 354 (Quincy)
7- Jerry Leggett 331 (Quincy)
8- George Sennoff 322 (Moline)
9- Mike Kiss 308 (Geneseo)
10- Bob Riley 270 (Rock Island)
11- Frank Dexter 244 (Moline)
12- Jack Foley 237 (Moline)
It should be noted that Duncan Reid, Thom Sigel, Jerry Leggett, and Frank Dexter had additional wins at other high schools. I was unable to find win total at UTHS for Cliff Talley as UT does not update the IHSA totals.
Here are previous blogs with information on pervious Galesburg HS coaches.
