Weekend Preview: UND at Miami Discuss. Dave

I've got Mike Sertich at 350-328-44 (.515) over 18 seasons with Minnesota-Duluth (1982-2000). First three years (1982-85) at UMD were great: 93-37-6 overall record (.706) 3 NCAA tournament appearances 2 Frozen Fours 2 WCHA regular season titles 2 WCHA playoff titles and then only one NCAA bid over his final 15 years (that coming in 1992-93). Over his final five coaching seasons (1998-2000 with Duluth and 2000-2003 with Michigan Tech), he went just 47-118-13 (.272) and pushed his career winning percentage under .500 (.487). Dave
