Ok, so maybe I’m being especially dense tonight, but I was looking at Paul Maurice’s record and something doesn’t add up for me.
We all know that he’s lost more games than any coach ever, but, I hear many people say that he’s a .500 or better coach.
His record is 684 wins, 609 losses, 99 ties and 115 overtime losses.
So, just looking at those he appears to be above .500. But, since an overtime win is simply counted as a win and overtime losses are categorized differently, hasn’t he actually lost 724 times? (609 plus 115). Well below .500.
Or is it just too late and my brain has turned off for the night?
