Mountain State University Head Basketball Coach Bob Bolen works to seal his 479th collegiate win and break the current record for most wins by a West Virginia collegiate coach on Thursday when the Cougars go up against the Talladega Tornadoes.
MSU's 75-59 win over Emmanuel College on Tuesday night brought Coach Bolen to 478 wins, tying his record with that of legendary Fairmont State Coach Jo Jo Retton.
This is Bolen's 18th season with the Cougars. Under his guidance, MSU has ranked among the top five scoring teams in the nation for 17 consecutive seasons, and 24 of his former players have continued on to successful professional basketball careers.
MSU hosts Talladega at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center.
