Hutchins led Michigan to the 2005 national title and to 18 Big Ten titles in all.
Michigan returns to the field Sunday hoping for a sweep of the three-game series against Indiana. And, of course, for win No. 1,459 for Hutchins.
Arizona coach Mike Candrea isn't trailing Hutchins by far. He's got 1,450 wins and counting.
