Parker's Achievement The magnitude of Jack Parker's achievement of his 500th win as a head coach is brought into sharper focus when one considers the changes in the game during the last 23 years. Parker has had to adjust to tremendous growth in the sport and an ongoing refinement in the way the game is played and perceived. From facemasks to television coverage, there's a lot that's changed during Parker's tenure. His ability to adjust to those developments and keep on winning is a strong testament to his ability.
