Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 3787673, member: 7548"] and Doug one again explaining the Singular greatness of Geno and the program [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ctinsider.com/sports/jeffjacobs/ctpost/article/Jeff-Jacobs-Bruno-s-respect-for-Geno-goes-way-15835204.php[/URL] “Believe me,” Bruno said. “I have all the respect in the world for Coach Summitt, Coach Wooden, Coach Tara, all these great coaches who have put together these programs that are in that speaking point of which one is the top five. I’m one of the only people old enough to remember Coach Wooden’s team, watched Coach Wooden’s teams, watched them in person. I’ll put Geno’s teams ahead of Coach Wooden’s teams, because of who he has had to play and the amount of Top 25 competition he has had to compete against in both the old Big East and also his nonconference schedule. That’s why I unabashedly say it’s the best program in the history of college basketball, men or women.” On Tuesday, the Big East announced the UConn game at DePaul on Jan. 1 will be the first-ever women’s basketball game broadcast nationally on Fox. “It’s huge,” Bruno said. “Val Ackerman, our commissioner, has just been nominated for the Naismith (Hall of Fame) and is so deserving. This is another aspect of what Val does. For Fox to identify that women’s basketball deserves to be on the big station, I consider it an honor to be part of it. At the same time I’m not delusional about why. It’s because of UConn and what Geno has done to make it a national brand. It’s also about an entire league and what Mike Tranghese and Dave Gavitt did before that.” But beyond being the greatest coach, he is also the most entertaining “After they watch tonight’s game, they might change their mind,” Auriemma said. “Does Fox show cartoons? I mean, other than some of their news.” :D:D:D [/QUOTE]
