Fun listening though nothing really new.

One item that struck me - Geno is asked who he had as a mentor and he starts listing all the great men's coaches who were around Philly when he was growing up and then he describes the layout when he was at UVA and how he was right near the visiting men's locker room and could listen in to the pre, halftime, and post game for another list of great men's coaches. It struck me how he wasn't listing any of the old generation of women's coaches and I know he respects and admires some of them but as influences he was listing men's coaches.

And I think it speaks to what was different in what he brought to the women's game, and his success. He was one of the first to really bring the 'mature' (as in much longer history) of the men's offensive and defensive principles to his team and to WCBB.

He wasn't alone - I think I remember both Tara and Muffet also talking about men's coaches influencing their development.
