Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3801651, member: 5798"] Had Summitt not passed and continued coaching another 8-15 years (she was 59 at her passing), it's possible she would have pushed her record of 1098 wins much further into the stratosphere. Hypothesis.......IF Summit was still coaching today, and If she would have won an average of 30-35 games a year, she would have had some where in the neighborhood of 1365-1385 wins. What will be the NEW final career win total record be will Geno and Tara retire? Neither are showing any signs of retiring in the near future. Pat's 1098 was a revered record that stood as the benchmark until VanDerveer surpassed it last month, and Geno is expected to pass it next Wednesday vs Seton Hall. Will THAT new record be one that will never be broken? Depending how how long they both continue to coach, that number could be somewhere between 1275-1350 games. Note - [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Vivian_Stringer']Charlaine Vivian Stringer[/URL] (Rutgers) is in her 50th year of coaching (1041-421). She's 72. It's very probable that both Geno (66) and Tara (67) coach well into their 70's. :eek: [/QUOTE]
