Anson Dorrance, that is, coach of the University of North Carolina's women's soccer team. Dorrance's team has won 18 national championships and 94 percent of its matches. All this under a guy who never aspired to be coach and only got the job as a result of mistaken identity, who had no idea initially how to coach women, who frequently ends training sessions by giving his team cake, and who runs the team so badly that he can't remember the names of some of his own players and often arrives late for matches after getting lost on the way.
He is also the subject of a new book by Tim Crothers, The Man Watching: A Biography of Anson Dorrance, the Unlikely Architect of the Greatest College Sports Dynasty Ever.
