Geno's career w-l ?

[01Neaggrad02]

Didn't Geno reach the 600, 700, and 800 wins mark faster than any other coach?
He could be at 900 when KML is early in her senior season.

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.

Notice the conditional "If."

 

[DobbsRover2]

Dobbs, I expect better from you!

Twenty years begins with 93-94

But there was a double parameter given, first FF and last 20 years. Still proud of that 1991 team and how amazed I was seeing them get to the NC behind Kerry. Okay so it drags the numbers down a little, but so does 20 years (a minuscule 30 wins in 1993-94) instead of the 19 years from the first NC. Any way you slice the UConn records in recent times, you get some really nice cuts for that Dagwood style sandwich. Not sure what made me think of Dagwood suddenly.

Yes, there were two sets of parameters. One a score of years and the other when success was first established at the FF level in '91.

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%

Mulkey's win percentage will probably start to decline now that Griner will graduate. And Sim's will graduate next year. Good players will follow , but there was , and is , only one Brittany Griner. Not having her around would hurt any coach's win percentage , to be fair.

Of course we all know that Geno was compiling all these stats by playing only cupcakes in the Big East, not that lineup of powerhouses that comprise that 500 times tougher SEC.

 

[Vowelguy]

1) Summitt ....1098
2) Hatchell*... 908
3) Stringer*... 901
4) Conradt .... 900
5) Vanderveer*. 894
6) Stevens*.... 882
7) Auriemma*... 839

With 32.2 wins/year, Geno would cross 1000 at the end of the 2018 season (senior year for Ekmark et al).

Geno only has 839 wins? I think he should consider transferring. I know he won't because he likes our new huskywolf logo so much.

This thread just points out how much success can be coach driven. I see UConn (and Geno's) success in:
- recruiting (not just good recruits, but ones that fit in the program)
- using the players (that we just suggested were well chosen) to their maximum ability
- instilling the pursuit of perfection, will to win, etc.
- great x and o coach
- doing all this without much internal drama

How many other coaches meet or exceed Geno at those individual talents? Now put all 5 together.

 

[HuskyNan]

839–133 for a 86.3% winning percentage

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

Just imagine if Geno had coached in the Sun Belt like Barmore.

Unfortunately, we're about to not have to imagine it.
