Method

  • The data has wins vs ranked teams for every game since 1936, so 882 head coaches from before then aren't here.
  • 187 head coaches aren't here because a game in their window has no line recorded.
  • An active player whose first 100 games ended before this season is on the all-time board with his rank.
