Media talking points - Chris Mooney by the numbers

[SWFLfan]

My post yesterday in the game thread I forgot still have game(s) left in conference tourney. Correcting myself Mooney should be moved to an office position day after final game.

Don't know if mentioned here but see Schmidt is retiring/fired from Bonny?

College basketball coaches fired: Updated list of schools making changes​

Read below from above USA article .....
Schmidt had been at St. Bonaventure since 2007, where he went 339-253 at arguably the toughest job in the Atlantic 10 Conference. That run included NCAA tournament appearances in 2012, 2018 and 2021. Prior to Schmidt's hiring, the Bonnies had been to the NCAA tournament just once from 1979-2007. At least tougher than here for Mooney.

Anyway like I posted hadn't watched much Spider action all season. Though recall last minute of Spider action witnessed on TV was in
second half of VCU game. Can't even recall score at time but Spiders went on 11-0 run and Mooney calls TO. Turned off the TV.

should I combine the A10 finals appearances (2) and A10 semifinals appearances (5) into one line item?

At present listing them separately, it almost makes it sound like he has made semis/finals 7/21 times. He has not because you have to make the semis to make the finals. Five semis appearances, two of which led to finals appearances. 5/21.

Yup, combine that, you definitely run the risk of misinterpretation for those not following along.

Mooney has had 3 final appearances, winning 2.

if anyone can find where Moon's winning % ranks amongst all A10 coaches in history, please lmk. Basketball reference only shows overall winning % where Moon's .549 ranks 43rd all time amongst coaches in the A10.

I kind of did a brief look. Here's Regular Season and Playoffs
He's 14-13 vs. Mark Schmidt
1-4 vs. Kim English (Mason)
5-6 vs. Paulsen (Mason)
2-7 vs. Anthony Grant (Dayton)
4-9 vs. Archie Miller (at both stops)
9-6 vs. Dr. John
3-5 vs. McKillop Jr.
9-6 vs. McKillop Sr.
3-5 vs. Lonergan
4-8 vs. Rhoades
8-9 vs. Martelli Sr.
0-2 vs. Martelli Jr.
3-4 vs. Majerus
3-5 vs. Shaka in conference
6-8 vs. Travis Ford (both stops)
0-5 vs. Will Wade
6-6 vs. Dunphy (both stops)

Other than that, he feasts on weak teams like Fordham and UMass

good catch. I was actually at that loss against Temple in AC in that A10 final, not sure how I forgot. That weekend in AC was terrific. Few and far between.

So, winning record against 3 coaches, two of whom have been let go. No wonder his peers love him.

That’s the one I was wondering about…

In my opinion, you should not combine them. Makes the record look more impressive than it is. Fact of the matter is making the finals vs. making the semi finals doesn’t mean anything differently. Just means you lost one game sooner. Only thing you should keep track of is championships won and NCAA at large appearances.
