Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2452164, member: 199"] Yes - as he was the 'coach' of the team for the full year in each case even if he was suspended from being on the sidelines for a game or missed one for a personal reason. In fact, I believe two different situations exist for two of the other 1000 win (or soon to be) coaches: Tara took a full year leave of absences for her Olympic run in 1996 - pre-pro USA leagues and the USA basketball was trying to get back to gold medal performance levels so the team was pulled together in 1995 and they played a full schedule of exhibitions during the year leading up to the games. The wins that Stanford had in her absence were not credited to her win total but to the interim coach. Sylvia had her bout with serious illness and took a full year medical leave starting before the season began but she remained around the team when her health allowed and the UNC wins that year are included in her record even though she never coached in a game that year and did not run any of the practices. Not sure about Mike's situation. Of course CD says Geno has a record of 0-135 since he has only screwed up her carefully laid plans when the team loses, and the wins are all because of her impeccable work! (On good days Geno agrees!:eek::cool:) [/QUOTE]
