Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3331500, member: 7492"] I think this board is hard on Shea due to the lack of success of any of Geno's coaching tree, specifically, Jamelle, Tanya and Jen. The only one the board is "warm on" is Carla due to her success at Tufts. She must continue that success at Princeton where she has been given a strong set of players and strong administrative support. Why some great coaches don't have great coaching trees is a mystery-Belichek is one that doesn't. MM however, does. It could be many factors or just a small sample size. I worry about turning over the "crown jewel" of WCBB to any assistant as I want a proven winner who knows how to recruit, coach and win. This should be job all coaches should be aspiring to. The lone downside is following the "Legend". In the end, Geno will have a much a say as the AD as he has shown his passion for this program, much like Pat Summitt did for Tenn. Geno will not make the same blunder as Pat as none of his former players or assistants are as "dopey" as Holly. [/QUOTE]
