Red Klotz passed away last week at the age of 93. He was the player-coach of the Washington Generals. His coaching record featured 6 wins and over 14,000 losses. The Generals played all their games against one opponent, the Harlem Globetrotters. Their last win was in January 1971. All things being equal, how many games should they have won?
