UConn has 2 chances to get Dawn Staley: fat and slim.You get the best coach out there. Go after Dawn Staley.
Maybe so but my point is go after the best coach avaliable. If that happens to be Berube or Ralph great but whatever you do don't box yourself in with feeling an obligation to an alumn if there's better people out there.UConn has 2 chances to get Dawn Staley: fat and slim.
Same.She is my first choice and I've said it a number of times
Agree for sure re Shea she has built the winning program in three years andDon’t want to upset anyone, but I just don’t see either of them coming here. They’re both in highly stable environments, and UConn is anything but in today’s conference alignment and realignment. Who knows what tomorrow brings?
Shea’s not leaving a job in the SEC (a power 2 conference) to coach a team that is on the outside looking in!!!!Shea can recruit.
Except Staley is not the Olympic coach. Cheryl Reeve is. And she's a WNBA coach.Carla has proven herself to be an excellent, winning coach at all the levels in which she has participated.
Her team plays like a Jr. varsity UConn.
Shea is doing well, but the jury is still out.
Listen to Carla's post-game interviews: a model of rationality and reasonableness...she even sounds like Geno.
if the decision was to be made soon...next few years...Carla clearly would get the call.
A word about Dawn's recruiting...the Olympic coach has huge advantages.
SHEA RALPH is making a point with turning around the Women's Program!Aside from when Shea was at UConn what big-time recruits has she brought to Vandy? And I'm not sure which UConn recruits she was responsible for bringing to UConn? So it's difficult to say which of the two would be the better recruiter (to my mind anyway). I'd lean towards Carla.
Do you not have a vested interested in this decision? LOLI vote Carla. In fact, I'll chip in a few bucks if it will help the cause.
I guess UConn really blew it when they went after Calhoun, Auriemma or Hurley, all of whom showed potential but had not yet demonstrated their recruiting or coaching ability as head coach in a major conference.You get the best coach out there. Go after Dawn Staley.
Just got the commit last monthAside from when Shea was at UConn what big-time recruits has she brought to Vandy? And I'm not sure which UConn recruits she was responsible for bringing to UConn? So it's difficult to say which of the two would be the better recruiter (to my mind anyway). I'd lean towards Carla.
That would be like Geno going to Tennessee to replace Pat Summit. She won't leave what she has for what she would think was a lateral move at best.I would like to see Dawn Staley. SHE can really recruit, especially the bigs and take less than great players and turn them into championship contenders in a tough league.
