Message: [QUOTE="pinotbear, post: 2202823, member: 258"] This thought comes up on occasion - will DT, or Sue Bird, or ____ replace Geno - and, almost without fail, the former players mentioned have no coaching experience at all. You just can't do that with a program as big and successful as UConn. There's so much involved that has absolutely nothing to do with playing ability or even on-floor leadership. Even the "knowledge base" is incomplete, because teaching a skill is different than executing a skill. This is not to say that a great player can't become a great coach - but, there's a development process, an evolution that needs to take place. Playing and coaching are different skill sets. [/QUOTE]
