And re that 1200, I keep wondering when someone in the national media is going to take note of the fact that Tara took that year off to coach the Olympic team, and if she hadn't, she would have passed Coach K last year
Somehow I don't think Tara was thinking about her career wins total when she took the Olympic team opportunity.
I doubt Geno was either, when he took TWO years off to coach the Olympic team.
Tara will deservedly get the ink this year, and if Geno manages to hang on for another year after she retires, he'll get his.
I'm sure Tara wasn't concerned with her record in 1995. But re Geno, I don't recall him taking any years off from UConn. He did coach the Olympic team, but it wasn't a full year off thing like Tara.
I'm still struggling with the 1200 number. If you add up the Ohio State and Stanford wins, that's 1142. No 1995-96 Stanford season included. Total Olympic team wins are 60, I think. Are they included? Seems odd. But what about the 42 for Idaho.
Please, someone, ?????
