Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3453055, member: 199"] What players say when they are still playing at the highest level can change dramatically when they retire - they miss the 'juice' of competition and they look for ways back into that world. Kobe was an example of that and might well have moved up the chain as his daughter did - it was suggested he was looking at HS jobs at the school Gigi might have attended. So, what DT or Sue say now does not necessarily indicate where their heads will be at in a few years. (Uconn has a good women's soccer team as well ...) The fact that DT and Penny are raising their son might also make a more rural environment attractive. That said, I would think Uconn would want someone with a HC resume - it is a very different program than it was when Geno arrived and they were just looking to make it respectable. I am leery of Shea as the 'heir apparent' with no HC experience - she is a good assistant but I would have liked to see her put her toe in the water somewhere as a HC. Berube seems like a better choice at this point, Marisa might be attractive in a few years depending on her run at BU. And I would not be against them hiring a man - the dynamic of Geno/CD I think has appealed to a lot of recruits as they move away from their home environment. [/QUOTE]
