Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 5179562, member: 1131"] YouTube also has a video of the Creighton post-game commentary, featuring Coach Jim Flanery, Molly Mogensen, and Morgan Maly. It is very much worth watching in my opinion. Coach Flanery is a 100% class act in every sense. I think that if he had UConn's rosters over the years, he would have won as many games as Geno. He may have been one of those coaches whom Geno referred to when he said that there have been great coaches who have not been great winners because they didn't recruit top-notch players. His coaching style is placid (no biting sarcasm or raised voice), but his concern for his players' well-being is evident. It's easy to see why players would want to play for him and stay for so many years. When you think about it, it's also amazing how many games he has won with rosters that (as far as I know) have never included a single WNBA draftee or future player. None of his current players are going to be professional basketball players, and I doubt that any of them will have significant NIL revenues. The benefits they get from playing college basketball will be strictly non-financial. [/QUOTE]
