Message: [QUOTE="Jim R, post: 3434410, member: 98"] "Gonna be tough for coaches like Geno, Muffet, and Tara in the twilights of their coaching careers competing with them for recruits that's for sure." While nothing lasts forever, it might be prudent to resist the temptation to report UCONN's decline prematurely....I'd bet we get two more championships before any of those aforementioned programs/coaches. As far as recruits, believe that horse left the barn years ago. Yes, we still compete, and get, more than our fair share of the best, but as the quality of WCBB has improved during the past decade, to include the coaching, and so have the choices for recruits. While the sensitive subject of our lack of inside presence (yes, height), and its cost, has been mentioned more than a few times, there's no doubt its been magnified in this year's losses. Next year, it'll be a different story n many ways. Having said all that, in the meantime, while there is no doubting Geno & crews coaching chops, it would nice, if, from time to time, after a big loss, instead of getting irritated at the press, and his team, he'd put his big boy pants on, and simply say he was out coached, and the other team was better prepared. It happens to all of us. After all, while his team may not have played up to expectations, its the coaches job, and ultimately, his job to make sure they are ready. The glory is his when they win, and, in the same manner, the criticism should be his when they lose....and he should embrace it. Lastly, we've got more games to play and improve, and the WCBB championship to go after - let's go get them! [/QUOTE]
