Rapone and Burke have nothing on this guy

 Notre Dame coach Mike Rapone and Prattsburgh coach Jim Burke have been around for a while, and have had amazing careers. Both have over 500 career wins, which is amazing.

But while looking around, I found somebody that makes those two look like rookies.

Back on Dec. 5, Archbishop Malloy beat Monsignor Scanlan and Jack Curran won his 900th career game.

Malloy plays in New York City and Curran has been named city coach of the year 22 times, was the national coach of the year in 1990, was the coach of the decade in the 80s and has been named coach of the century by Scholastic Coach Magazine. Curran has five city championships and has had seven players make it to the National Basketball Association.

He also coaches baseball, where his teams have won 68 straight league games with 17 city championships. Curran is 77 years old and still very active, throwing batting practice to his baseball team.
