Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3215153, member: 7492"] I don't care what sport you're coaching-22 national titles implies other schools are fielding teams and you are beating them with regularity. While soccer is not one of our top 4 major sports, we still have many, many youth players in this sport that play through High School. There are 335 Women's D1 teams in soccer and 351 WCBB teams in D1. So while I don't think your intent was to completely impugn soccer, you did and the facts don't bear out your inference. This is sort of a Jordan vs. Gretzky discussion in their prime. Both were the kings of their sports by a lot, but Gretzky was the more dominant player within his than Jordan was within basketball. That doesn't diminish how great either one is. Anson is the more dominant coach but that doesn't diminish Geno's resume at all. I also agree with [USER=4434]@Yorkeez4[/USER] that Geno is not overly negative visa vi his team. He may use it to motivate specific players who he thinks can accept this motivation. As I have quite a few friends who coach in college, they all agree that coach women is different than coaching men. Women want to know why they need to go through the brick wall--what's on the other side? vs. men who you can yell at to just break the wall down and see for yourself. So maybe women are more cerebral than men? Thank goodness my wife doesn't read this forum...:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
