Is Geno ready to leave UConn?

I believe women's basketball would be better off if he did.

 

There's nothing else for him to accomplish in college

 

If he's going to do it, better do it soon.

 

Hat - do you believe there would be any interest for him at a "major" / "known" men's program, and if he jumped to the men's game, how do you think he'd fare?

 

I think his current contract runs through 2017, not that it really means anything. If an NBA teams wants him I suspect he'll jump.

 

Dude can flat coach. I bet he'd succeed wherever he went.

 

Does anyone care? He's coaching in a game where there are about 4 other competitors and nobody cares if he wins at recruiting on the fringes of the rules or outright cheating. There's no money in it, no viewers and no competitors. He might as well win at the Y.

 

I've never understood why he's never made the jump to the men's game. For his ego alone I thought he'd attempt it just to show everyone he could.

 

He has a label as chick coach and he's a midget.

 

He's always struck me as a guy that enjoys being the big fish in a small pond. He can dominate a shit sport or run the risk of getting exposed in the men's game.

 

Easy.

 

Not he's easily a midget, but not far.

 

I could see it. He'd do just fine.

 

I tend to agree, if he can command respect with guys a full two feet taller, and adjust to being just another coach when he hits the recruiting trail. I'll give him credit for what he has accomplished, albeit with only a modicum of competition the last eight or ten years.
