Well he was 60% at his last position...
"...head coach at Air Force. In his only year there, he led the Falcons to their second best record in school history (18–12). "

What is 55%?

 

[97spiderfan]

Our winning percentage right now is 63% and we are barely on the NIT bubble with that. In 2020, our winning percentage was 77% when the season got cancelled and were a solid bubble team when the season got cancelled.
For an A-10 team to be a bubble team, they have to have a winning percentage of at least 75% or greater (VCU is right at 75% and is right on the cut line at present).

I think this illustrates how far this program is from true NCAA contention, 55% is not even close to the threshold for NCAA bids.

55% is just who Mooney is.

 

[SpiderGuy]

But that's good enough evidentially. Maybe not on this board with the exception of a couple deniers, but its good enough for decision makers.

Show us it's not. Prove us wrong.

 

[SpiderFan]

Not true! He has a horrible winning percentage in the A10 tournament...its 44%. To be fair a lot of coaches may have bad winning percentages in their conf tournaments since you lose 1 and you're done. However he didn't coach a team that won an A10 conf tournament game until his 4th year and out of 15 A10 tournaments to date he has 6 years that he didn't win a single A10 tournament game.

In truth, I have no problem with 63.1% ...on May 1.
If you look at our last 40 seasons, I think a higher percentage of seasons that ended over that were considered successful by most here.

Suddenly I am looking at another A-10 Coach (two time).

All depends on where the program out. 63% might be a good year in a rebuilding year, it is no where near good enough in the year everyone circled as to when all of our "rebuilding efforts" would bear fruit.

 

[SpiderTrap]

If we were 55% but made the tourney every 3-4 years, I would not have an issue with 55%. But then again - if that was the case - we would likely be above 55% overall.

 

[PalmTreeSpidUR]

The OP has found some remarkably consistent stats.

Right. Me too. But if you are making the tournament every 3 or 4 years, that would have to be offset by 2-3 really putrid single digit win seasons. Mooney prevents that be scheduling light in the OOC those years and the fact that the A-10 has a bunch of schools (Duquesne, LaSalle, Fordham, GW) who operate at such a distinct disadvantage that it is pretty easy to avoid those landmine seasons that would easily spell his doom.

 

[SpiderTrap]

I have no problem scheduling light in the down years. And if you come out with 16-18 wins in a rebuild year with no post-season, so be it. But every 3-4 years, we should be making the tourney or on cusp of it.

Here we are March 4, and we are the bubble for the NIT, not the NCAA. Wrong bubble. Wrong year.

 

[urfan1]

I think it is a shame every player doesn't get to taste the big lights once in his career -- that is no less than once every 4 years.

 

[KE Spider]

Agree. Should be the goal.

 

[Marley13]

And that’s only 25%. Mooney should cover that easily.

 

[Long Island Spiders]

Did you guys knows Schmidt only had a .570 winning percentage? They way you all praise him on here I would’ve guessed something much higher.

 

[SpiderGuy]

Schmidt recently make NCAA tournament in last 11 years?
