Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3456772, member: 1220"] I would hope the days when schools focused their coach search on ex-players from their respective schools. They used to do this all the time and it was the reason that a few coaches dominated WCBB. They didn't have much competition. Gee I don't remember Geno playing for Uconn. Perhaps he wore a wig? I am sure there are many very good ex-players that would make excellent coaches, but the focus on that demographic for hires certainly lowered the standard for coaches for decades. While I do think that the potential pool of ex-players has increased exponentially along with the game, the focus should be on getting the best coach possible and not maintaining the WCBB version of the "Good Ole Girl" system. Ex-players do not always make the best coaches. Let them prove themselves first. [/QUOTE]
