I have a few friends in Dallas who are really big fans of OU. One of them follows the WBB program pretty regularly.
We were talking about the upcoming game this weekend between the Baylor lady bears and Oklahoma. He told me that Sherri Coale has a higher winning percentage in Big 12 games than any other coach. He went on to say that the OU program has won more Big 12 games than any other team.
I told him that I doubted this could be true. But he stuck to his claims.
Sooooo..... I decided to check it out.
I went to the OU official website to see if these claims were really there. Lo and behold, it DOES make both of these claims.

This is inacurrate information on both counts. Kim Mulkey has a higher winning percentage in Big 12 play than Sherri Coale does. Also, the Baylor Lady Bears are the all time leaders in total conference wins and winning percentage. Not by much, but technically, Baylor does hold the lead.
At the close of the 2011-12 season, the all time conference records were as follows:
BU 169-89
OU 168-90
Also, all time conference winning percentage:
Mulkey: 73.19%(142-52)
Coale: 65.11%(168-90)
To start this season, Mulkey is 16-1(6-0) and Coale is 15-3(5-1). So Mulkey/BU have actually extended their leads a bit this year.

Sherri Coale and the Sooners lead all coaches and teams in Big 12 Conference wins and winning percentage. In the 15 years since the Big 12 was formed, the Sooners lead with 168 regular-season wins (.651) in conference play
