Since the subject of coaches has come up and also the discussion regarding "number of coaching victories all time" and its significance to -"WHAT'S A GOOD COACH" ???? Here's my 2 cents - IMHO: Coaching victories is great but I think coaches should be recognized for years of service in coaching - and not just as a head coach but as simply a coach (serving as an asst coach can be the toughest years in your service). I saw the list of coaching victories that was published and I wondered why all levels were'nt included - and not just D-I people. A coach should be recognized NOT just for his/her wins but for all games they have served their school, win , loss or tie. So, instead of publishing and recognizing those coaches who have won the most - here's a challange for you all - who's coached the most years - include all the years of asst. coaching, head coaching and all the schools they worked at - not just one school. There are a lot of coaches who have served their school (and several schools) who worked at D-II, D-III, club, even high school. I think of people who I met in this profession some 19 years ago - Lefty Smith, Bill McCormick, Jim Ellingwood, Greg Batt, etc. Some of these coaches put in 25 -30 years of coaching and I measure their worth on their longevity in a challanging profession with very few jobs that pay a decent $$$$$$. Coaching wins as a category is overrated. Hell, my toughest seasons were the ones that did'nt have a lot of wins - but... I work harder those years - it seems. Just my opinion.
