Record definition and data status
Career records use countable coach-season rows. Zero-game placeholders are excluded from aggregates until a completed-game fallback can verify the record.
Completed-game fallback uses scored games joined by coach, team, and season; advanced ratings are left blank when the season summary has not supplied them.
Latest completed coached game in this dataset: Dec 27, 2025. At least one season record was backfilled from completed games, so current-season totals may move as more scores are loaded.
Career Arc

Focus on where peaks separate, where floors hold, and how the shape of each career changed over time.
