He finished in the Top 3 of the Big Ten 13 times during those 17 appearances. Also, he had an appearance at Western Kentucky so he has 18 as a coach. How many coaches have more appearances? Those records I highlighted are bubble records. Are you saying they aren't? He didn't make the tournament every year, he had bubble years. Finishing in the Top 3 of the B1G is not a bubble year. He did that 13 times. He won 6 Big Ten Championships, an average of every four years over a 25 year span. Considering only 40 some PROGRAMS have made the tournament more times than Keady it's pretty clear that he's one of the more succesful coaches in history in terms of NCAA appearances.
