Belmont head coach Rick Byrd earned his 500th career victory on Wednesday night as the Bruins defeated Stetson, 70-53.

He joins Syracuse's Jim Boeheim (844), Duke's Mike Krzyzewski (809), Connecticut's Jim Calhoun (586), and Sacred Heart's Dave Bike (500) as the only active Division I head coaches with 500 or more victories at their current school.

Byrd ranks 11th among all active head coaches with 592 career victories, which includes time at Maryville and Lincoln Memorial.
