Former Minnesota Duluth men's basketball coach Dale Race died today following a long battle with prostate cancer. He was 78.

Race amassed more victories and has the best winning percentage (.709) of any coach in the history of Bulldogs men's basketball, with an overall record of 293-120 from 1984-1998. He guided the Bulldogs to nine 20-win seasons, eight NSIC championships (1986-92 and 1997), eight NAIA National Tournament appearances (1985-92), as well as one NCAA Division II playoff berth (1997).
