Kathy Olivier's overall coaching record at UCLA was 232 - 208 over 15 years, which equates to 15 - 14 per season on average, with WNBA players Noelle
Quinn, Lisa Willis, Nikki Blue, etc., and Lindsey Pluimer healthy and playing. Incidentally, MT has won 8 of the last 10 meetings in head-to-head competition
with KO's Bruins, including a 21 pt blow-out of the Bruins while still coaching at Pepperdine with somewhat lesser talent (?) than the Pac-10 . . .
Mark Trakh's record is 73 - 49 over four years, with two second round tournament appearances, which equates to 18 - 12 per season on average, skewed by the last two years with his best players red-shirting, and many other players playing hurt . . . otherwise, we probably would've averaged upwards of 20 or more wins each season . . . our close losses this year might've swung to the win column with one or two more healthy players (i.e., 4 losses by 1 to 3 pts . . . plus two overtime losses . . . with four of these games on the road ) . . .
The most games that Ebony Hoffman won in a season was 16:
03/04 = 15 - 13
02/03 = 14 - 17
01/02 = 16 - 14
00/01 = 13 - 15
Tina Thompson did the best as a frosh when she played together with senior Lisa Leslie and Jody Wynn, under Coach Cheryl Miller:
96/97 = 20 - 9 (Coach Fred Williams)
95/96 = 13 - 14 (8th place in Pac-10)
94/95 = 18 - 10 (Coach Cheryl Miller, and player Jody Wynn)
93/94 = 26 - 4 (Coach Cheryl Miller, and players Lisa Leslie and Jody Wynn)
Lisa Leslie did pretty well, but do you think our WOT would've achieved these records if Lisa Leslie were hurt and couldn't play ? Just look at the L.A. Sparks without her . . .
93/94 = 26 - 4 (Coach Cheryl Miller, and players Tina Thompson and Jody Wynn)
92/93 = 22 - 7 (Coach Marianne Stanley, and player Jody Wynn, formerly Jody Anton)
91/92 = 23 - 8
90/91 = 18 - 12 (Coach Marianne Stanley)
Getting to the tournament twice in the last four years is only a start . . . the best is yet to come . . . Coach Trakh was a perennial 20-game winner coming in, and I expect him to win a minimum of 25 each season, starting this coming Fall . . . Fight On !
