Summary and Filtering
Coach search stays primary, then school, archetype, time span, and quality sharpen the rankings. The recommended starting point is 3+ seasons.
Primary Discovery
Start with career shape or flip to identity. Either way, the chart, the coach summary, the outlier list, and the table context all stay synchronized.
Start with the simplest question: who paired real strength with a repeatable week-to-week shape?
Fitz Hill
Volatility: 2.95 • Average SRS: -15.42
29.8% win rate • -10.9 peak SRS
Hover or focus a point to isolate it. Click a coach to carry that selection into the results table.
Average SRS reads overall strength. Volatility is the spread of season-to-season SRS, so lower values mean a steadier profile.
Career shape lens
This is the clearest first-pass view for peak versus stability. It is the best place to start browsing.
Fitz Hill coached 4 seasons, won 29.8%, and posted an average SRS of -15.4. Best season: 2002 San José State. The profile was offense-first with a very steady week-to-week shape. One primary stint defined the run.
These callouts update with the active discovery mode and filtered coach set.
