Geno Prerecorded Cal Cast Today

[RockyMTblue2]

John Calipari's weekly podcast centers on his interview of Geno. I do not use any of the platforms for it. The info and a link to get you to the podcast can be found here: John Calipari's Cal Cast features UConn basketball coach Geno Auriemma in advance of historic record attempt

Love some tidbits if someone listens. Whole lot of WCBB coaches should be listening in - hell, a whole lot of ball coaches period!

Calipari is a real goofball. He seems like a 12 year old on a sugar high. He doesnt let Geno finish his sentences and tries to
say what Geno will say and usually gets it wrong.

Not much new on the basketball side but I found his US citizenship discussion interesting.

Listening now, so thanks, Rocky. Gotta say: Calipari's voice makes my skin crawl. As they used to say about Nixon: how do you know when he's lying? when you see his lips moving.....Well, I can't see his lips moving on the podcast, but I can imagine....

Three takeaways for me:

1. Story of a nun objecting to him being hired at DePaul before he took the UConn job.
2. Cal intimating that UConn tried to get Geno to coach the Husky men at one point.
3. Story that Geno was on the cusp of leaving 10 years ago (including assembling a staff) until one of his daughters talked him out of it.

I really enjoyed that, and what came across is they both enjoyed it as well.

One added bit to bschwartzv list:
4. When Cal was on his undefeated run he called Geno to get some insight on how to keep the team focused and lower the pressure that was building - thought it was an interesting tidbit.

I do think Cal near the end, when he talks Geno's legacy, gets it right. Genos legacy is to put WCBB on the map of sport. Sure, for us, it will be his trophy case and Genoisms and the whole personality; but, for America, it is his unique ability to project WCBB onto the national sports scene.

I, for one, frankly am way over tired hearing about Geno's flirtations with men's basketball. He'd stroke out on the first day of practice.

Yeah, and his daughter had his back! And talked him down off the precipice!

Which university was he going to go to? Anyone know?

Had no idea that he had decided to bail on UConn. Who wanted him to coach men?

And was that correct that they wanted him to coach the UConn men? When would that have been?

Must have been when Calhoun stepped down. Instead UConn decided to give Ollie the job and now the men's team is an absolute joke.
