The 'NBA head coaching wins leaders' quiz

Created on June 4, 2025 | Total tries: 1974 | Average Score: 18.8 out of 39 (48%) | Quiz FAQ

Despite leading the New York Knicks to their first Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years, head coach Tom Thibodeau is now out of the job.

Thibodeau went 226-174 in his five-year tenure at Madison Square Garden, but after falling 4-2 to the Indiana Pacers in the ECF and struggling most of the regular season against playoff-caliber teams, Knicks leadership decided Thibs isn't the man to lead the current core to an NBA championship.

Which brings us to today's quiz. With 13 years of head coaching experience and two Coach of the Year awards in his trophy case, he'll likely get another shot in the Association. With that being said, can you name every NBA coach with at least 500 career wins?

Good luck!
