Message: [QUOTE="EdSaid, post: 4044329, member: 10651"] Both Marisa and Shea have a tough road in front of them. I believe they know what they need to do. The question is can they. I wish them both well. 37 years Geno and CD did start at the very bottom. It was a totally different time for WBB. Very little funding, No WBB TV, Very little attention to Title IX. Maybe two great coaches at the time Pat Summitt and Jody Conradt.. Geno rose to the top but he didn't have as many obstacles as a new coach has today. Today there are say 10 great coaches and another 50 darn good coaches. Probably 10 teams at the beginning of the Tournament could win if they got hot. Even starting as a head coach at a P5 school today, the mountain has gotten higher. There are more steps to climb. Would a 30 year old brash Geno Auriemma getting his first Div I job today be able to do what he did? Pat Summitt? [/QUOTE]
