A Refl ection on 600 Victories at W&M—For most of my col- leagues in all aspects of sport from coaching and competing to sports administration and reporting, wins are the primary validation of their career or a career in sports in general. As a competitor and a young coach, I was well on my way down this same path—if you weren’t a national fi nalist you weren’t much; if you didn’t win you were a loser. Had I continued down this route, my 600th victory at William and Mary would have been a great occasion and accomplishment—a validation of my coaching career—but it also could have been rather hollow as Former William and Mary President Timothy J.
