Geno--5 More Years!!

I think this record holds for a very long time unless Mulkey goes on a tear at LSU over the next 20 years.

You can remove Dawn from this conversation. In her own words, she isn’t coaching into her 70s.
Even if Dawn wins 30 games a year for the next 20 years, she would only tie the number of wins Geno has right now. She would be 74 years old.

Of course , no other coach will have wins as a player to match hers. We’re comparing . . . Uhm . . . Oranges to tangerines ? They got here by different paths

Currently:
  • Geno (aged 70) has 1,213 wins;
  • Kim Mulkey (aged 62) has 723 wins;
  • Dawn (aged 54) has 612 wins.
Assuming Geno retires after 5 years, and the win differences remain the same after 5 years:
  • Kim needs 12.25 undefeated 40-win seasons, i.e. she coaches until she’s 80 before she catches up with Geno;
  • Dawn needs # 15 undefeated 40-win seasons, i.e. she coaches until she’s 74 before she catches up with Geno.
# Or 17 35-win seasons (till she’s 76) or 20 30-win seasons (till she’s 79) before she catches up with Geno.

This speaks volumes to how good of a coach Geno is.

I know it is just math, but I'm impressed. Thanks @NycUcWbbFan .

So that's the reason Mulkey plays all those scrubs. She must really want that record.
 
IMO, based on the available details, this contract does not represent a 5 year extension but rather in reality only a 2 year extension.
The Insider article stated that this contract extension will run through 2029.
AFAIK Geno's current contract runs until the spring of 2025 with 2 separate additional option years available on a mutial basis which means that it could have been in effect until 2027.
So if this new contract runs until 2029, that means that it's a 2 year extension & not necessaily a 5 year extension.
While this new contract appears to give Geno some additional guaranteed years at a higher salary, I don't see it as being a 5 year extension at all.
He's signed before his current guaranteed contract extpries but that's about it.
While it's a 5 year contract it only effectively extends him for 2 additional years if all goes well with his future health & desire to continue coaching.
Some of the contract details seem to still be lacking.

Standard practice to tell recruits that he and the school intend him to be around during their time at UConn.
 
With al least 5 more years (175+ more games), Geno would fortify a historically singularly stellar coaching career:

Games | Wins # | Win-Loss Percentage |

# It seems Tara Vanderveer got credit for 60 games related to (52 exhibition for + 8 actual games in) the 1996 Olympics.
(Some of y’all) are so obsessed with the total wins record. I bet Geno has never been concerned with that. He cares about championships. Nobody is close to him.
 
Games with international teams don't count towards college coaching stats.
There was a 60 win-discrepancy between what SRCBB reports and what the official record was (1,216 wins).

I assumed this discrepancy was due to the 60 wins (52 exhibition and 8 actual) related to the 1996 Olympics.

The difference is actually due to 42 wins at Idaho (Division II) + 17 wins during Ohio State’s 1980-81 season which is not on SRCBB’s database.

Just correcting your headline conclusion that Dawn can catch up with Geno when she coaches to age 74 with consecutive 30 win seasons (not unreasonable sounding since Dawn started coaching at age 30 while Geno at age 31).

The answer to your chosen scenario is actually closer to 79.

How?

Geno 1213 wins. Dawn 613 wins. Difference of exactly 600.

600 wins divided by 30 wins per season equals 20 seasons.

Dawn is 54. Add 20 seasons to her present age and you get 74 - not 79.

(Of course, Geno will add more wins and Dawn probably won’t coach 20 more I’ll
Years , so this is purely hypothetical)

Geno is coaching 5 more years. That's the difference.
 
It's hard to say what Dawn is thinking, but she made a statement in the past year that suggested she would retire in the next 10 or so years.
 
You said it!! I'm so glad that the 5 year signing gets rid of " when will GENO retire or how much longer will he coach". I REALLY hope Chris Daily has been extended also. The last thing you want to do is break up a winning combination like they are. Now I know my remaining years will be as enjoyable as the 11 years I have been watching Uconn BB with GENO and CHRIS .In 60 days I will be 91 and have loved Uconn's Women since I saw their first game. With this extention GENO will never ever be second in wins. GO GENO AND CHRIS!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!
Next12, I like your response here, but I want to use this opportunity to congratulate you on the upcoming birthday. Ninety One Years!! Oh, I can only imagine the things you’ve seen, the places you’ve visited, the stories you’ve told, and all the other aspects of life’s experiences that you’ve encountered. In. Y opinion you’re most likely to be an historian, and I salute you! Ninety One Years!! Happy Birthday when it arrives!!!

How? My hypothetical was not about her catching up with his future win total only about his PRESENT total.I was pointing out that it is practically impossible

Geno 1213 wins. Dawn 613 wins. Difference of exactly 600.

600 wins divided by 30 wins per season equals 20 seasons.

Dawn is 54. Add 20 seasons to her present age and you get 74 - not 79.

Your caveat is plainly inapplicable, whose utility is akin to a nonsensical fine print.

It’s your headline number that people will remember and that number implied that Geno’s would-be record after 44 years as a head coach would be equaled by Dawn’s 44 year coaching record if she chooses to coach till she’s 74 and garners 30 wins every year.
