I'm curious about your thoughts. I recently observed a twitter "beef" amongst some fans of a small school, about records, and them being broken.

 

The issue: according to the best records the current coach has, a player is about to break the school record for hits.

 

Others insist that since a decade or so of stats went "missing" that the record shouldn't count, or at best have an asterisk because those who protest say there is no way this record is correct.

 

I call malarkey. The record is the record, you can't never give a kid a record again just because a generation is missing from the books.

 

What do you think?

Agreed. The player will hold the record for hits.

The NBA did not record blocked shots until the 1973-74 season. Most assume that Will or Bill Russell may have more blocks than anyone else. But Olajuwon is the official all time leader in blocked shots.

Shame on the school for not protecting their history. Got to start sometime, would suggest an * be used to note the years of missing records and officially apologize for the lack of data.
