Record definition and data status

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: Nov 30, 2025. At least one season record was backfilled from completed games, so current-season totals may move as more scores are loaded.
