Utah State men’s basketball coach Stew Morrill won his 600th career game on Saturday against San Jose State.

All of Morrill’s wins were at the Division I level. Morrill became the 41st college basketball coach to reach this milestone and the 14th active coach. Morrill has won 382 games with USU, a school record, and the other games were won with Montana, where he won 97 games, and Colorado State, where he won 121.

“I really don’t know what to think about it,” Morrill said. “Once you’ve been around a long time and had some good teams and some great kids, I’m sure at one point I’ll reflect on it kind of like you do on a milestone birthday, and I’m sure once I get a little bit of time I’ll reflect on it a little bit.”

Morrill has been a head coach since 1986 and a coach at USU since 1998.
