Message: [QUOTE="Dokey, post: 3438778, member: 9636"] I mainly mentioned this to show the attitude of other top teams toward UConn during that first NC season. It is interesting to note where UConn and Colorado went from then on. Both were emerging national powers in the era of Tennessee. Under Ceal, Colorado was making it to tournament almost every year, including several Elite 8s and Sweet 16s. Then Ceal retired from coaching at 49 (she’s a year younger than Geno) in 2005 and became assistant athletic director at Colorado (still is, though title and responsibilities beefed up). So a Colorado program that once was on a level with UConn faded with the loss of a coach who many would argue was superior to Geno because she wasn’t one note (by that I mean you should read Kate Fagan’s article on how Barry handled her when she threatened to quit basketball).
