Geno's career w-l ?

[Vowelguy]

I'm sure someone out there knows it.

Also, where does he currently sit on the all-time wins list?

 

[Phil]

839–133 for a 86.3% winning percentage

86.3% is just slightly behind G.P. Gromacki (Amherst) who is still active (and had a better percentage w-l ratio than Geno this year!) if you care about all divisions.

He is just behind Barmore, also at 86.9% if you care about Division I only.

He is in first for win percentage among active DI coaches.

 

[Phil]

For overall wins, Hatchell had 879 entering the season, won 29 so is at 908.
Stringer had 885 entering the season, won 16 so is at 901.
Stevens (At Bentley) had 852 so is still ahead of Geno, but not DI

Conradt retired has 900 even and Summitt has 1098.

 

[Phil]

Mulkey is another coach with a better won-loss ratio this year and on a smaller base, so her winning percentage moved up more. However, it started at "only" 81.1 so moved up to 82.1, still comfortably behind Geno. Geno had a fabulous year, but his ratio is so high, this year only improved his overall ratio by 0.1%

 

[01Neaggrad02]

Could you imagine if Geno could some how pull out another undefeated season or two. Undefeated would put him around 878.... HE has the talent. It could be interesting.

 

[01Neaggrad02]

However, the most impressive W-L Record does belong to Geno and that is 8-0 in Championship games! 8-0!!!!!!! No one else comes close. I think Kim Mulkey is 2-0 in Championship games. Muffet is what, 1-2 in championship games?

How many Final Fours has Geno been to? We had 6 in a row, five in a row, and an additional three right? 14 Total? 8 National Titles out of those 14 trips. OF course three of those Final Four losses came to Notre Dame.... but we showed them this year

 

[Phil]

That suggests another way, an astounding way of looking at it. Geno's team played 39 games this year and won 89.7%. If they had won the average percentage, that would be 33.7 wins, call it 34. They won 35. In a year in which the team wins the national championship in convincing fashion, the win total is only one more than an average year. That is quite a hurdle.

 

[Vowelguy]

Thanks Phil - I knew you'd have it!

1) pat 1098
2) hatchell. 908
3) cvs 901
4) Conradt 900
5) Tara?
Landers.
Stevens (At Bentley) had 852

??) geno 839

 

[Phil]

Tara has 894 - another 900 ceremony coming up.

She is another one with a better w-l percentage this year than Geno, it moves her up from 81.1 to 82.1

edit: Landers is now at 823.

edit2: Stevens won 30 so now at 882, another 900 ceremony coming up.

 

[Vowelguy]

So geno is 7th all time?

 

[Phil]

This article:
List of college women's basketball coaches with 600 wins

is a bit of a mess, because some numbers are last year, some are current, and some seem to be part way through the year (Stringer and Hatchell), so it needs some cleanup, but I think the order of the first 8 at least, are still correct.

Last night the Red Sox missed a sellout crowd at Fenway for the first time in ten years, which is pretty good.

UConn/Geno have not lose two in a row since the end of the 1992-1993 season (and it is unlikely that they will misfire for the next couple years). I believe they are at about 740 (no two consecutive losses) now, and still confidently counting.

Jeez, that's like Cy Young! An unassailable record!

Phil, you're "average" year is a recently often true but oddish type phrase, since few teams (like 2) play 39 games, and even UConn has played only a paltry 38 games for three of the last 6 seasons. All-time and including the less successful early years, Geno's teams have won an average of 29.96 games a year, which can be rounded to 30 and which should officially be over the 30 mark next year.

I agree. Arguing the most impressive stat in all sports, with the major quibble being that it is slightly contrived. (Back to Back losses not exactly being a common discussion item)

I agree. And I also agree, should we hit 31 next year, which, if it happens, will bring the all-time average to exactly thirty, should be worthy of media attention.

Another interesting stat would be over the last 20 years or even since UConn achienved its first Final Four. Geno started with such a terrible program many of his losses are front loaded affecting his percentage.

Over that last 20 years, Geno's record is an astounding 677 and 55 for a winning percentage of 92.5%.

Average wins per year, 33.9, which makes this year an "average" year compared to the last 20.

I bet no one else has a 20 year stretch close to that.

edit:
Barmore coached exactly 20 years, so he doesn't have a 20 year stretch with a higher winning percentage.

Summitt coached 38 years, so there are 19 different 20 year stretches, none of which exceed Geno's last 20 years. In fact, if you cherry pick, throw out the 18 years with the lowest winning percentage, the remaining 20 years have a winning percentage of 91% which is certainly awesome, and impressive, but interesting that it doesn't exceed Geno's last 20.

I can't believe there is another DI coach who could come closer.

 

[Icebear]

That was my expectation, Philster.

32.5 since the women in gran-ite started hitting the and the 23 years of general greatness, though it does include the 18 win 1992-93 season when Louisville beat them in the first round.

Ya think?

Dobbs, I expect better from you!

Twenty years begins with 93-94

 

[Phil]

Yeah, 20 years is a nice starting point because it starts with the first 30 win season, and doesn't pick up that "horrendous" 18–11 season with back to back losses.

 

[Suebird10fan]

839–133 for a 86.3% winning percentage

86.3% is just slightly behind G.P. Gromacki (Amherst) who is still active (and had a better percentage w-l ratio than Geno this year!) if you care about all divisions.

He is just behind Barmore, also at 86.9% if you care about Division I only.

He is in first for win percentage among active DI coaches.

Geno will almost certainly pass everyone in winning percentage the year after next and never look back.

 

[Icebear]

If Breanna manages to win or compete deep into 3 more NCs they will average close to 36-37 wins a year. If so, at the end of 3 years Geno will be at or approaching 950 wins.

Does mojo need to be respected in the offseason?

I will be disappointed if we average 36-37 wins over the next three years. Barring a pretty bad run of injuries, I would expect 37-38.
