Rutgers doesn't have to win another game in any sport and they will be just fine with their Big Ten dollars.

My guess is they will continue to suck.

You made a post about Pikiell not being interested in leaving Rutgers for the Uconn job. I think you're wrong but it doesn't matter, UConn isn't interested in hiring him.

The question I pose to everyone who thinks Geno should be the men's coach is "at any point do you think a UConn women's team could beat the men?"

If that answer is yes I automatically disqualify anything they have to say about anything.

If I seriously have to read another post about Geno coaching the men I’m gonna eat the business end of a shotgun.

No, I don't.

The thing I love about the Geno idea is that it is so crazy that it would generate instant positive buzz and create a whole new story line that is much more interesting than the one we have now. It could work and it would be fun to watch how it plays out irrespective.

But I agree it will never happen for a couple different reasons.

I’d love to see it. Would be awesome just to see how it turns out.

He’d also lambaste the fanbase and that would be hilarious.

I was thinking it would generate instant negative story lines. It would be an absolute circus nationally. And I'm guessing negative recruiting would work wonders on the trail with the 16 year olds.

I read on nottheboneyard.com that SuzieLax thinks this is a great idea.

Wants Geno to coach the men for a decade and then become AD.

Those guys are all moran's, tho.

We aren't hiring Pikiell and there is no way Geno is coaching the men's team or Calhoun is coming back. This board is so incredibly stupid sometimes.

Pikiell, Geno and Pikiell are not the most embarrassing suggestions. The fact that people are legit mentioning Pitino is pathetic. Jesus H Christ.

Who's suggesting that?

CCSU's name used on the streets without our permission. Nobody makes us bleed our own blood.
 
Where is Tim Pikiell when you need him?

Hire Geno and give Chris Dailey the women's job.

I had mentioned this in post a couple days ago more tongue in cheek and especially with the quote in my mind when Calhoun called the crowd at women's games like heavens waiting room :-). When you really think about it though.. CD seems to have the admiration of the entire team and sounds like she is really the big recruiter and then they send Geno in as a closer. She's been the asst for what 30 years? I can almost see them giving her the nod as the women's coach and giving her her due. If the men go after Pikiell or Hurley or anybody else in their top 3 and get shot down and couldn't find a better option.. would this really be that crazy of an idea? All this being said.. I still don't think they are going to let go of KO, so can't say I'll be holding my breath for any of these scenarios. It reads more like a WWE storyline.

At any point do you think the women could score against the mens team is more like it. Well this year...:eek:

I remember watching Diana Taurasi and two other women's players play three-on-three half-court against three men practice players. Diana looked very ordinary against those male practice players. Then during the game against women she all of a sudden looked like she was absolutely fantastic. Totally different levels of athleticism and length completely negated lots of her skill.
 
Here's my take on the Geno thing. He can coach the men there's no doubt. Not necessarily our men but somewhere he could do a nice job. It's a different world in recruiting there's not a lot of "kids" who want to stay 4 years get a great education, they all think they will end up in the league. Well not all mind you, just making a generic statement. It would be intriguing to some but an immediate I'm not interested in UConn and that circus they created bringing a womens coach in, like it or not that's reality. Most of all with all if his success coaching women who listen, work hard all the time and are really coachable he'd be nuts to ruin that by trying to end his career coaching guys at this point. Ride into the sunset with 4-5 more NC's and leave that as your legacy, and a damn good one. Don't ruin it, and I doubt he would.
 
The men don’t need Geno as much as they need to adopt the methods he uses for offense and defense. Defense could be a lot trickier with switching, but good teams make it work. Our pro offense doesn’t work. The number of assists is so bad other teams don’t even need to worry about passing.
 
That is one excellent read. It summarizes my feelings about this program.

Nevertheless, I will be in the XL bar area Saturday cheering for the boys while munching on a Bears BBQ brisket sandwich washed down with a cold beer.

Sounds like an idea how early do you need to get to the bar to get a seat?
 
Sad but true assessment, except where he confuses Cobb with Diarra.

Don’t like the coaching suggestions. We can not hire an ex UConn guard who played with Kevin Ollie to replace Kevin Ollie. Besides, I want to stay far away from any UConn connected guy. Hurley would be tolerable I suppose. I still like Amaker. I have no problem hiring from the Coach K tree, and he knows how to recruit in New England.

As for Geno, he’d do a great job, I have no doubt about that. Instant respectability. But he’d never do it, and not because CD can’t take over the women. He’s an Icon in the world of women’s sports, and the message that going from the greatest women’s basketball programs of all time to take a floundering men’s job is an upgrade would send people into fits of hysteria.

Trying desperately for tix to bring my two oldest daughters. Have put in over a dozen requests on cash or trade but tix have been snapped up before my reply even gets read--and I'm a "Gold" member with immediate access to posts and an instant notification. Won't pay scalped prices though and won't sit higher than lower 200s or behind stage (unless 100s) so being a little picky because I want to make it worth my while and don't want them to have to stare at video feed (which they can do from my man cave any night). Lots of high seats and rear stage popping up now and have been offered a lot of meh seats. Will give it another hour or so. If we go I am not going to game because I won't be getting home until 3:00 at the earliest.
