Coaching wins

[Steelerone]

Ask the Nittany Lions about that.

You are correct in that they received severe punishment (justly deserved) but remember that it had nothing to do with the players in the program. It had to do with a sick, vicious human being who committed barbaric acts which could have been stopped much earlier by people who were not only in charge of the program but the school itself. Joe Paterno, who was the head coach, did not fail as a coach. He failed as a human being.

Summitt - 1098
Tara - 1092
Geno - 1088
Stevens - 1058
Stringer - 1040
Hatchell - 1028
McGraw - 936

This is correct as of 3/3/20 going into the tournaments

So Geno could make up some serious ground (all of it) on Tara if we go deep into the tourney and Stanford is an early out in the PAC and/or NCAA

Here's a matrix of Tara's chances of hitting 1098 this season.

She'll need to outperform expectations in the Pac-12 or NCAA tournament, or both. Losses in the Pac-12 final and NCAA Elite 8 will leave her at 1097. That overtime loss at Arizona really put her chances behind the 8 ball.

Edit to add: Stanford's Pac-12 tournament is a gauntlet. Will need to beat Oregon State (assuming OSU gets past WSU) just to get to the semifinal, then likely faces UCLA.

Whoever coaches the longest between the two will have the most wins so why is it important to make up ground now..just wondering

This is exciting! It's the countdown from 10 to tying and surpassing Pat Summitt. Whatever Tara does, it means that a new coach will be the winningest ever. And Coach Geno will have several more years to set new records!

Tara Geno and Pat wow forever saluting these 3 for what they brought and are bringing to the game.... cannot give enough praise

With 2 wins in the Pac 12 Tourney Tara is only 4 away now I think? So either beating Oregon on Sunday and getting to the Elite 8, or losing tomorrow and making a run to the Final 4 would tie her w/ Pat this season.
