The win was No. 1,217, passing Tara VanDerveer, who retired after last season at Stanford. Both have passed Mike Krzyzewski, who won the most games in men’s college basketball, 1,202. There are other factors to being the “winningest” coach, such as winning percentage, championships won, record in what would be considered the most important games, such as postseason games. Comparing one sport to another, to be sure, is a study in apples vs. oranges, but when such a coaching record falls, whether or not it is a counting stat, it speaks to consistency and longevity, and the nature of coaching, by which we mean job security, is such that longevity cannot be achieved without sustained excellence. Auriemma, 70, checks every box. In addition to the highest number of wins in what he helped to make a high-profile sport, he also has the most championships, 11, and a remarkable winning percentage of 88.2% across 40 years. He has 137 more wins, with 24 losses and an .852 percentage, in NCAA Tournament games and a 23-4 record in No.1-vs.-No.2 matchups; most coaches would sign for that record against unranked opponents. So by every measure he is the most successful coach in women’s basketball and a transformational figure in its history. And as he continues to add to his win total at a torrid pace, it’s less and less likely anyone will come close for generations to come. In most other sports, the ‘winningest coach’ title requires some explanation, as we set out to do here with a look at the career victory leaders in various sports and who is chasing them. Winningest: Don Shula, 347 As Shula, who coached the Colts from 1963-69 and Dolphins from 1970-95, approached George Halas’ mark, the NFL decided that regular season and playoff games would both count toward the official record. Shula is best known for coaching the undefeated 1972 Dolphins, and after repeating as champs, he won enough to remain in the job as long as he wanted it. Bill Belichick, who won six Super Bowls with the Patriots, was hot on the trail and left New England after last season with 333 victories. It’s widely assumed he will coach again and chase the record, though he is 72. He would have to land in the right situation and, history tells us, have a great quarterback. The Chiefs’ Andy Reid, 66, has a way to go with 293 wins. Winningest: Connie Mack, 3,731. This calls for an asterisk, maybe several. Mack managed Pittsburgh from 1894-96, then bought into the Philadelphia Athletics of the new American League and managed from 1901-50. As an owner and, essentially, GM, he was not about to fire himself. He went to the World Series nine times, and won five, but had long strings of dreary seasons and, in fact, also lost more games, 3,948, than anyone else. Because he managed in civilian clothes, he was actually not allowed to step onto the field and, as he “managed” until the age of 87, his sons or other coaches did most of the actual managing over his last 10 years or so. No other coach or manager in any sport was so entrenched, not even far more successful managers. Second on the wins list is Tony La Russa, who won 2,884, but had a .536 winning percentage. It’s unfathomable that Mack’s total will ever be approached. The winningest active manager is Bruce Bochy, now with Texas, with 2,171 wins and four championships, and he is 69. Winningest: Gregg Popovich, 1,394 Popovich, 75, is still active, though currently out recovering from a stroke. He passed Don Nelson (1,335) in March 2022. Popovich, who has coached the San Antonio Spurs since 1994, has won five championships and has won 62.8% of his games, but hasn’t had a winning season since 2018-19. Doc Rivers, 63, is the next winningest coach still active in the league with 1,119. He won a title with the Celtics in 2008 and is now with the Bucks. Winningest: Mike Thibault, 379 Former CT Sun and Mystics coach Mike Thibault has the most victories, 379, amassed between 2003-22, winning 56.7% of his games, and also got his teams to the playoffs 16 times, including a championship run in 2019. However, Cheryl Reeve, 58, who has coached the Lynx since 2010 and has won four titles, is poised to pass Thibeault. With plenty of help from UConn’s Maya Moore and Napheesa Collier, Reeve has 330 victories, a .647 percentage. Winningest: Scotty Bowman, 1,244 Among pro coaches, Bowman may come the closest to Auriemma’s across-the-board dominance. He won the most regular-season games and also the most playoff games (223). He won nine Stanley Cup championships, five with Montreal, one with Pittsburgh and three with Detroit, so his success cannot be pegged to one franchise, one player or core of players. In 28 playoff appearances, he had a .632 winning percentage. Former Whaler Joel Quenneville, 66, has 969 wins. He has been out of hockey since a sexual assault scandal involving one of his staffers came to light, but teams have the green light to hire him again. Barry Trotz (914), now in the front office in Nashville, and Paul Maurice (881), the last Whalers coach who won the Cup with Florida last season, are in the distance. Maurice is only 57. Winningest: Mike Krzyzewski, 1,202 Coach K, who started at Army, then moved to Duke, 1980-2022, where he won five NCAA championships. He won 100 more games, against 30 losses, in the NCAA Tournament. He retired with a .766 winning percentage. Herb Magee, “The Shot Doctor,” who coached Philadelphia Textile (now Thomas Jefferson) from 1967-2022, won 1,144. Among active coaches, Dave Holmquist, 73, who has been at Division II Biola since 1978, has 1,056 wins, most at the NAIA level, and a .704 percentage. Jim Boeheim had 1,015 wins at Syracuse. Jim Calhoun had 920 wins at Northeastern, UConn and Saint Joe’s, with three championships and .699 winning percentage. Among active Division I coaches, Arkansas’ John Calipari (856, including wins ruled vacated due to NCAA infractions), Kansas’ Bill Self has 828, including vacated wins, Rick Barnes has 809, so Krzyzewski’s mark looks safe for a while. Winningest: Geno Auriemma, 1,217 It looked as if Auriemma and VanDerveer would duel for the title for years, but VanDerveer, 71, called it a career. Pat Summitt won 1,098. Among other active coaches, N.C. State’s Wes Moore has 833, including 69 early in his career in D-II. Winningest: Joe Paterno, 409 Though John Gagliardi, who coached in NAIA and at Saint John’s in Minnesota, a D-III program, won 489 games, Paterno (409-136-3, two national championships) is the standard for major Division I football for his years at Penn State, 1966-2011. However, how much of the head coaching duties he performed as he coached well into his 80s would be a question. He retired in the midst of the child sex abuse scandal involving long-time assistant Jerry Sandusky, a shadow cast over his legacy. Paterno got one more win than longtime Grambling coach Eddie Robinson, 32 more than Florida State’s Bobby Bowden. Among active coaches at FBS programs, Mack Brown, 73, now at North Carolina leads with 288. Paul Assaiante, who retired in 2023, coached men’s squash at Williams, Army and, for 30 years, at Trinity, finishing with 17 national titles and a 507-29 record, winning 252 matches in a row at one point, longest winning streak in college sports history. ... In college women’s soccer, North Carolina’s Anson Dorrance, who retired last August, left behind 809 wins, an .887 winning percentage and 21 NCAA championships (of 41 Tournaments staged since 1982). ... In college men’s hockey, Boston College’s Jerry York retired with 1,123 wins and five NCAA championships. ... In men’s soccer, Jay Martin, who has been at Ohio Wesleyan since 1978, leads with 738. ... In college baseball, Florida State’s Mike Martin won a record 2,029 games, with 736 losses with 18 trips to the College World Series, though no championships, between 1980-2019.

GRAIL Announces Inducement Grants Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4)
NoneWith “Nosferatu,” director Robert Eggers reinvents the F.W. Murnau 1922 silent classic by emphasizing the folk tale mythology and leaning more into the supernatural. We find Ellen (Lily-Rose Depp ) demonically possessed by vampire Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård) after inadvertently awakening him from the dead. It’s a twisted reversal of “Sleeping Beauty,” in which she becomes haunted and he becomes increasingly obsessed. Be careful what you wish for. For Linda Muir, the director’s go-to costume designer, it was essential to dig deeply into 1838 fashion for Ellen, who hails from a German village, and late 16th-century fashion for Orlok, the nobleman from Transylvania. This enabled Muir to convey the necessary authenticity, emotion, and social status of the characters, creating a costume story with its own arc. “For me, it was interesting to have all the taboos that are embedded in the period with a character like Ellen, who’s not adhering to what the norms are,” Muir told IndieWire. “Thomas [Nicholas Hoult], her husband, wants comfort and luxury, he’s trying to do what he thinks is best for her. But she comes from all that, and she doesn’t care about it. What she wants is him, she wants love.” Ellen valiantly fights Orlok’s power, but he’s obsessed with an all-consuming appetite for her and schemes to tear her apart from Thomas. “I thought it was fascinating to watch Bill and think that, under all of that prosthetic decay and decomposition, there was such a strong, visceral feeling of the guy, obviously wealthy, entitled, the beautiful young man that he might’ve been centuries before.” Ellen’s wardrobe, which is part of a pre-Victorian transitional period, reflects her confined status in the male-dominated society (she’s put in a self-tightening corset to help cure her), as well as an ethereal quality as a result of Orlok’s thrall. But as she gains confidence, Ellen’s wardrobe becomes less restrictive. “In the 1830s, women had a huge gigot sleeve, really extended puffy tops coming down into a tighter forearm,” Muir said. “Then, around 1836, that style starts to change. Women had taken all that excess fabric and didn’t want to cut it all out, it’s expensive. So they would fold it all in and then stitch it down and make it slightly smaller. So that would start to change the dimension of the sleeve.” Since Ellen’s costume choices are reduced and they repeat costumes, Muir learned that you could make a dress with removable sleeves. “So we actually shot a scene [which was cut] where she has short sleeves as well,” added Muir. “And the long sleeve is hanging over her dressing screen at the back.” Ellen’s most prominent evening dress is indigo with lilacs embroidered and beaded on the front and on the sleeves. This lavender hue subliminally underscores the connection between Ellen and Orlok, who remembers lilacs from when he was alive. “The period had some extraordinary patterns on the same piece of fabric: paisley, dots, ombre,” said Muir. “On the one hand, it’s very schitzy and overpowering, but I chose cotton as the fabric to make it calmer.” Meanwhile, Muir had fun digging into the 16th-century costuming for Orlok in a way that affected everything about him, from his speech to his manners to his castle. She went for an overall look of decadence and opulence, epitomized by the gold bar-like buttons on his large cloak (called a mantle), which was lined in fur and had a massive collar. It only slightly recalled the silhouette of Max Schrek’s Orlok from Murnau’s “Nosferatu.” The outer coat has very long arms, which got Muir researching how the men wore them. “You could put your arms through the coat and wear it, or you could wear it as more of a cape, like Dracula, without putting your arms through it,” Muir said. “And I thought that’s really fascinating because that’s like on the super-rich nobility level, and it’s also on the poorest of the peasants in the mountain by themselves, shepherds. So Orlok has that as his major piece. And he has the Hungarian fur hat and we played with the size of that so that it appears significant.” Muir wanted to convey the image of an ancient nobleman without overwhelming Skarsgård with a heavy outfit while obscuring enough of his decay to not arouse fear when he meets with Thomas in his castle. “And then he has underneath a beautiful dolman, which is like a tunic,” Muir said. “And that is layered and layered and layered. It has patterned silk, and I tried to choose textiles that have a lot of gold threads because I knew [cinematographer] Jarin [Blaschke] would be using firelight and candlelight and this beautiful moonlight. So things that could twinkle and reflect back to us to give the shape of an outline. “And then he has kind of Mick Jagger trousers,” she continued, “which are mustard-colored, kind of shiny gold thread, skin-tight trousers and a beautiful sash at his waist. And then he has the coolest footwear. He has leather. They’re like mules, so a slip-on. But for safety and comfort, they gave Bill another 4 inches or so in what is already a really beautiful, thin, tall outline.” And, for practical purposes, Skarsgård wore a hefty harness next to his body that came through the tunic and clamped inside of the cloak because of the tremendous weight, heat, and prosthetic makeup. “So we tried to make it so that we could release him as quickly as possible,” said Muir. “We cooled him off between takes, in between setups, and not tire him out from walking around with this. It also had to look effortless, like he wouldn’t fall off, like it’s mesmerized onto his shoulders, and magical, too.” Focus Features will release “Nosferatu” in theaters nationwide December 25.

New York Knicks @ Denver Nuggets Current Records: New York 9-7, Denver 9-6 When: Monday, November 25, 2024 at 9 p.m. ET Where: Ball Arena -- Denver, Colorado TV: Altitude Sports & Entertainmnt Follow: CBS Sports App Online streaming: fuboTV (Try for free. Regional restrictions may apply.) Ticket Cost: $40.00 The Denver Nuggets will face off against the New York Knicks at 9:00 p.m. ET on Monday at Ball Arena. Coming in fresh off a victory as the underdog, the Nuggets will stroll into this one as the favorite. The Nuggets will head into Saturday's contest on the come-up: they were handed a three-point defeat in their last matchup, but they sure didn't let that happen against the Lakers on Saturday. The Nuggets blew past the Lakers 127-102. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest win Denver has posted since November 2nd. Nikola Jokic was his usual excellent self, dropping a double-double on 34 points and 13 rebounds. His evening made it four games in a row in which he has scored at least 30 points. Another player making a difference was Michael Porter Jr., who shot 4-for-7 from long range and dropped a double-double on 24 points and 11 rebounds. The Nuggets were working as a unit and finished the game with 37 assists (they're ranked first in assists per game overall). The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their assist total in three consecutive games. Meanwhile, after a string of four wins, the Knicks' good fortune finally ran out on Saturday. The match between them and the Jazz wasn't a total blowout, but with the Knicks falling 121-106 on the road it was darn close to turning into one. New York didn't live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game. Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from OG Anunoby, who went 7 for 12 from beyond the arc en route to 27 points plus three steals and two blocks. Those seven threes gave him a new career-high. Denver's victory bumped their record up to 9-6. As for New York, their loss dropped their record down to 9-7. Monday's matchup is shaping up to be a masterclass in shooting: The Nuggets have been dynamite from deep this season, having made 39.6% of their threes per game. However, it's not like the Knicks struggle in that department as they've drained 39% of their threes this season. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out. The Nuggets were able to grind out a solid win over the Knicks when the teams last played back in March, winning 113-100. Do the Nuggets have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Knicks turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough. Denver is a 4-point favorite against New York, according to the latest NBA odds . The oddsmakers had a good feel for the line for this one, as the game opened with the Nuggets as a 3-point favorite.

F1 expands grid, adds Cadillac brand and new American team for '26HOUSTON (AP) — An elaborate parody appears to be behind an effort to resurrect Enron, the Houston-based energy company that exemplified the worst in American corporate fraud and greed after it went bankrupt in 2001. If its return is comedic, some former employees who lost everything in Enron’s collapse aren’t laughing. “It’s a pretty sick joke and it disparages the people that did work there. And why would you want to even bring it back up again?” said former Enron employee Diana Peters, who represented workers in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. Here’s what to know about the history of Enron and the purported effort to bring it back. Once the nation’s seventh-largest company, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 2, 2001, after years of accounting tricks could no longer hide billions of dollars in debt or make failing ventures appear profitable. The energy company's collapse put more than 5,000 people out of work, wiped out more than $2 billion in employee pensions and rendered $60 billion in Enron stock worthless. Its aftershocks were felt throughout the energy sector. Twenty-four Enron executives , including former CEO Jeffrey Skilling , were eventually convicted for their roles in the fraud. Enron founder Ken Lay’s convictions were vacated after he died of heart disease following his 2006 trial. On Monday — the 23rd anniversary of the bankruptcy filing — a company representing itself as Enron announced in a news release that it was relaunching as a “company dedicated to solving the global energy crisis.” It also posted a video on social media, advertised on at least one Houston billboard and a took out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle In the minute-long video that was full of generic corporate jargon, the company talks about “growth” and “rebirth.” It ends with the words, “We’re back. Can we talk?” Enron's new website features a company store, where various items featuring the brand's tilted “E” logo are for sale, including a $118 hoodie. In an email, company spokesperson Will Chabot said the new Enron was not doing any interviews yet, but that "We’ll have more to share soon.” Signs point to the comeback being a joke. In the “terms of use and conditions of sale” on the company's website, it says “the information on the website about Enron is First Amendment protected parody, represents performance art, and is for entertainment purposes only.” Documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show that College Company, an Arkansas-based LLC, owns the Enron trademark. The co-founder of College Company is Connor Gaydos, who helped create a joke conspiracy theory that claims all birds are actually surveillance drones for the government. Peters said that since learning about the “relaunch” of Enron, she has spoken with several other former employees and they are also upset by it. She said the apparent stunt was “in poor taste.” “If it’s a joke, it’s rude, extremely rude. And I hope that they realize it and apologize to all of the Enron employees,” Peters said. Peters, who is 74 years old, said she is still working in information technology because “I lost everything in Enron, and so my Social Security doesn’t always take care of things I need done.” “Enron’s downfall taught us critical lessons about corporate ethics, accountability, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Enron’s legacy was the employees in the trenches. Leave Enron buried,” she said. This story was corrected to fix the spelling of Ken Lay’s first name, which had been misspelled “Key.” Follow Juan A.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan's defense of the national championship has fallen woefully short. The Wolverines started the season ranked No. 9 in the AP Top 25, making them the third college football team since 1991 to be ranked worse than seventh in the preseason poll after winning a national title. Michigan (6-5, 4-4 Big Ten) failed to meet those modest expectations, barely becoming eligible to play in a bowl and putting the program in danger of losing six or seven games for the first time since the Brady Hoke era ended a decade ago. The Wolverines potentially can ease some of the pain with a win against rival and second-ranked Ohio State (10-1, 7-1, No. 2 CFP) on Saturday in the Horseshoe, but that would be a stunning upset. Ohio State is a 21 1/2-point favorite, according to the BetMGM Sportsbook, and that marks just the third time this century that there has been a spread of at least 20 1/2 points in what is known as "The Game." Michigan coach Sherrone Moore doesn't sound like someone who is motivating players with an underdog mentality. "I don't think none of that matters in this game," Moore said Monday. "It doesn't matter the records. It doesn't matter anything. The spread, that doesn't matter." How did Michigan end up with a relative mess of a season on the field, coming off its first national title since 1997? Winning it all with a coach and star player contemplating being in the NFL for the 2024 season seemed to have unintended consequences for the current squad. The Wolverines closed the College Football Playoff with a win over Washington on Jan. 8; several days later quarterback J.J. McCarthy announced he was skipping his senior season; and it took more than another week for Jim Harbaugh to bolt to coach the Los Angeles Chargers. In the meantime, most quality quarterbacks wanting to transfer had already enrolled at other schools and Moore was left with lackluster options. Davis Warren beat out Alex Orji to be the team's quarterback for the opener and later lost the job to Orji only to get it back again. No matter who was under center, however, would've likely struggled this year behind an offensive line that sent six players to the NFL. The Wolverines lost one of their top players on defense, safety Rod Moore, to a season-ending injury last spring and another one, preseason All-America cornerback Will Johnson, hasn't played in more than a month because of an injury. The Buckeyes are not planning to show any mercy after losing three straight in the series. "We're going to attack them," Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer said. "We know they're going to come in here swinging, too, and they've still got a good team even though the record doesn't indicate it. This game, it never matters what the records are." While a win would not suddenly make the Wolverines' season a success, it could help Moore build some momentum a week after top-rated freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood flipped his commitment from LSU to Michigan. "You come to Michigan to beat Ohio," said defensive back Quinten Johnson, intentionally leaving the word State out when referring to the rival. "That's one of the pillars of the Michigan football program. "It doesn't necessarily change the fact of where we are in the season, but it definitely is one of the defining moments of your career here at Michigan." AP Sports Writer Mitch Stacy in Columbus, Ohio, contributed to this report.Federal prosecutors moved to dismiss the criminal charges against President-elect Donald Trump that accused him of plotting to overturn the 2020 election and to abandon the classified documents case against him, citing longstanding Justice Department policy that says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution. The decision by special counsel Jack Smith, who had fiercely sought to hold Mr Trump criminally accountable for his efforts to subvert the 2020 election, represented the end of the federal effort against the former president following his election victory this month despite the election-related cases and multiple other unrelated criminal charges against him. The move, announced in court papers, marks the end of the Justice Department’s landmark effort to hold Mr Trump accountable for what prosecutors called a criminal conspiracy to cling to power in the run-up to his supporters’ attack on the US Capitol on January 6 2021. In court papers, prosecutors said the Justice Department’s position “is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated”. Mr Smith’s team emphasised that the move to abandon the prosecutions, in federal courts in Washington and Florida, was not a reflection of their view on the merits of the cases but rather a reflection of their commitment to longstanding department policy. “That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind,” the prosecutors wrote in Monday’s court filing in the election interference case. The decision was expected after Mr Smith’s team began assessing how to wind down both the 2020 election interference case and the separate classified documents case in the wake of Mr Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. The Justice Department believes Trump can no longer be tried in accordance with longstanding policy that says sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted. Mr Trump has cast both cases as politically motivated and has vowed to fire Mr Smith as soon as he takes office in January. The 2020 election case brought last year was once seen as one of the most serious legal threats facing the Republican as he vied to reclaim the White House. However, it quickly stalled amid legal fighting over Mr Trump’s sweeping claims of immunity from prosecution for acts he took while in the White House. The US Supreme Court in July ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, and sent the case back to US District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine which allegations in the indictment, if any, could proceed to trial. The case was just beginning to pick up steam again in the trial court in the weeks leading up to this year’s election. Mr Smith’s team filed a lengthy brief in October laying out new evidence they planned to use against him at trial, accusing him of “resorting to crimes” in an increasingly desperate effort to overturn the will over voters after he lost to President Joe Biden.
