Michigan softball coach Carol Hutchins realized during her career that while winning is important, molding and preparing the young women she coached for their futures was her greatest priority.
Hutchins, 65, announced her retirement Wednesday after 38 seasons, her 1,707 victories a record in the sport. She leaves as the winningest coach — male or female — in any sport in school history. Hutchins led the Wolverines to the 2005 national championship and her teams won 22 Big Ten regular-season titles and 10 Big Ten Tournament championships.
