With Central Michigan coach Sue Guevara's retirement, I took a look at the records of all MAC coaches in a post on my blog on the Kent State's women's team (http:// wbbflashes.com). Here's a summary:

MAC coaches' records while in league

(Listed by overall winning percentage.)

• BOB BOLDON, Ohio. 130-64 (.670). One overall MAC championship, one tournament title, three MAC East titles. One NCAA appearance, three WNIT bids (four wins). Starting seventh year.
• TRICIA CULLOP, Toledo. 241-123 (.662). One MAC championship, one tournament title, four MAC West titles, one NCAA appearance, seven WNIT bids (11 wins, WNIT title in 2011-11). 13th year.
• FELISHA LEGETTE-JACK, Buffalo. 142-85 (.626). Two tournament championships, one MAC East title. Three NCAA tournament appearances (reached Sweet 16 in 2017-18), One WNIT bid. Eighth year.
• LISA CARLSEN, Northern Illinois. 66-49 (.573). One WNIT appearance. Fifth year.
• BRADY SALLEE, Ball State. 128-98 (.547). Six WNIT appearances. Ninth year.
• TODD STARKEY, Kent State. 52-45 (.536). One MAC East title. Two WNIT appearances. Fourth year.
• MELISSA JACKSON, Akron, 16-15 (.516), Second year.
• SHANE CLIPFEL, Western Michigan. 80-79 (.503). One WNIT appearance. Eighth year.
• FRED CASTRO, Eastern Michigan. 31-62 (.333). Fourth year.
• ROBYN FRALICK, Bowling Green. 9-21 (.300). Second year.
• HEATHER OESTERTE, Central Michigan. 0-0. First year.
• DEUNNA HENDRIX, Miami. 0-0. First year.

Guevara's .587 winning percentage had been third among current coaches. Her 12-year tenure was second longest.

Coaches' overall winning percentage (at current and previous schools are quite similar. Biggest exception is BG's Fralick at .824. She went 104-3 (!) with a national championship at Division II Ashland. Hendrix's record at High Point University was 125-93 (.573) with two WNIT appearances.

Thanks for that interesting information. I suspect Guevara would rank even higher among MAC coaches in terms of in-conference winning percentage. Central generally plays a tough out-of-conference schedule.

I checked out the longer-serving coaches in terms of winning percentage for conference games only.

1) Cullop (Toledo) - .675
2) Guevara (Central) - .667
3) Boldon (Ohio) - .661
4) Legette-Jack (Buffalo) - .601
5) Sallee (Ball State) - .578

Guevara had been the longest-serving. Now Cullop is. She started in 2008-09 and will be entering her 12th year.
