Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 3805674, member: 44"] Confession: A half dozen years ago or so I doubted that Geno would ever catch Tara, the math just seemed too daunting, and yet here we are. To me at least, while most wins ever would be nice to have, it really doesn't matter much. Geno has cemented a legacy as the best WBB coach ever. Yes, the 11 national championships go long way in that supporting that position but just look at the efficiency with which Geno reached 1098: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1610375868557.png"]63470[/ATTACH] He did so in three fewer seasons than Summit and 7 fewer seasons than Tara. He did it with only 142 losses and .885 winning percentage. Think about that. Out of every 100 games he'll lose a game (slightly higher but you get the point.) That is staggering. He did it playing the toughest teams available. And he did it against Pat her heyday. All three will be remembered as the among the greatest WBB coaches ever. National championships set Pat and Geno apart, but clearly Geno is a cut above. And the best part is, the individual records really don't matter to him. Don't get me wrong, he's competitive and wants to be the best, but for time being his focused on this team and this season. We should be as well. So far, it is a great ride. (FWIW, how long is Stringer going to coach? She's been at it a half century.) [/QUOTE]
