The PAC-10 plays 18 conference games each season, so that would mean that nine wins are necessary in each of the two seasons that the team made that tournament. That leaves only eight conference wins total for the other three seasons. So going 3-15 or 2-16 a couple of times is going to get a coach fired.

Not sure if this is serious but if it is, well, I won't ever have you do my taxes. The OP says "She went 68-85 in five seasons in Corvallis, including 26-64 in Pacific-10 Conference play", so she went 42-21 in non-conference play. Not sure why you think she would have to be 9-9 in conference play to make it to .500 overall when on average she was about 8-4 in non-conference games each year.
