Owens' overall Kansas record was 348-182 (.657), and Big Eight Conference record was 170-96 (.639).

In Owens' tenure as the Kansas Jayhawks' head coach, Kansas won six Big Eight Conference titles and advanced to NCAA postseason play seven times. His 1971 and 1974 teams made it to the Final Four, and in 1968 the Jayhawks lost to Dayton in the finals of the National Invitation Tournament.

Owens was named Big Eight Conference Coach of the Year five times and was Named National Coach of the Year in 1978 by "Basketball Weekly". He coached five All-Americans: Jo Jo White, Darnell Valentine, Dave Robisch, Bud Stallworth and Walt Wesley.

A three-year letterman at the University of Oklahoma (1949-51), Owens honed his coaching skills as head coach at Cameron State Junior College in Lawton, Oklahoma. In four seasons his teams never won fewer than 20 games and three times advanced to the NJCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship semifinals. At Cameron, he amassed a 93-24 record and boasted four junior college All-Americans.

Owens then accepted an assistant's position under Dick Harp in 1960, and was promoted to head coach when Harp resigned following the 1963-64 season.
