Lane coached the Fighting Illini to a record of 20 wins and 6 losses with a Big Ten Conference record of 6 wins and 5 losses.^[1]^[2] Even though he led his team to a positive record, the university, as well as the athletes, deemed Lane's coaching style as subpar.^[3] Lane's team benefited from a long Southern trip in which the team beat several YMCA and club teams from Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, and Georgia.^[4]
