Message: [QUOTE="BroadwayVa, post: 2509906, member: 6118"] Your Para--- The "What Geno & Co---paragraph is excellent. I particularly like : and reduce the infinite to a series of finite responses. To me as a young man --when handed a new project--scared to death --I learned start somewhere and chip away--soon you find the light in the tunnel. As an Educator you don't start teaching Math with Calculus. John Wooden, an English Professor, taught Basketball in tiny pieces then put the building blocks into many assorted assemblies. I think you are a bit harsh on some coaches. Obviously, some are lazy but those should get tossed upon recognition. Then you have a bit more than adequate the Duke comes to mind. I keep saying, half joking, doing the Geno thing is EASY--but it isn't. You are right Muffet is by far the second to Geno. However the Miss St coach, Texas, Baylor, USF, Okla Coaches are more than good---and most have been in the top 10 for many years--that's no easy task, with 350 schools to complete with. Some coaches make me wonder--like Q, Harry P, Doug B --I like em all, each has some success but none close to Geno Connecticut as a State has lacked professional sports and in the College level Football (except Yale) has not been something to draw Ct fans. So Basketball became the Ct sport. I know HS's (not mine) had big time FB teams and followers. When Geno came along, and won, he had a base drooling for good basketball. Bags I don't know if you saw Geno's BB video, for middle school girls, everything Geno does is shown in that Video, on basic fundamentals. I'm sure the Frosh spend weeks on passing drills, they don't come in with the skills Geno demands. [/QUOTE]
