Dan Gable completed his 21-season head coaching career at the University of Iowa in the most dramatic way. The Hawkeyes were expected to place second to Oklahoma State at the 1997 NCAA Championships -- a team that had defeated them 21-13 at the National Duals. Iowa rallied to complete one of the most improbable runs in sports history.
