Geno has some very interesting thoughts about today's players (recuited in the last five years or so). Bravo on his thoughts on "criticizing" these players.
A lot of nostalgic musings. A lot of talk about how the young people have changed over the years. I've also heard in other interviews that he is yearning to do something else.
I think he is thinking of stepping down. He is a smooth character, so I imagine he will do it with class and he will hand the program off to the next person with his full support. He'll do it right. I feel like he is pushing buttons that he is used to pushing and getting nothing in return. Saw an inspired performance with UCF but nothing since. 3 obvious measuring sticks- defensive intensity, getting out on the break, and rebounding and loose balls.
I googled John Wooden this morning to see how he did it. He won his last game with not his most talented team. Maybe undersized- Dave Meyers, Andre McCarter, Marques Johnson.
If Geno could pull it off this year with no clear cut monster team in WCBB.
Interesting, Wooden's successors were very successful but they were blasted by the alumni and UCLA fans. Gene Bartow and Gary Cunningham won like 85% of their games and they got tarred and feathered.
Could such a thing happen at UConn. It definitely could. Who would be strong enough and charismatic enough to deal with that. DT, Sue who are already beloved?

Note. He will not leave until he passes summit in total wins. He needs a shave too
