Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3542690, member: 7511"] I have always felt that Rebecca would be an outstanding choice to replace Geno for a number of reasons. While Rebecca does not have coaching experience, unless we include coaching her daughters teams, she is extremely knowledgeable about basketball. If she could hold onto Shea as her Associate HC, that would maintain continuity and coaching experience. Rebecca has played and been successful at every level, and she has been very close to Geno and the UConn program for almost 30 years. During that period of time, Rebecca has probably learned a few things about what works and what doesn’t. Most importantly, Rebecca is one of the most visible and respected individuals in WBB. For any coach who succeeds a legend like Geno, the biggest single challenge will be to continue to bring in top recruits. UConn does not have the advantage of being a member of a P5 program. Many folks assume that once Geno retires, UConn WBB will fade into mid-major oblivion. There will likely be only one opportunity to hire another legend that might just be able to continue the remarkable success of UConn WBB. Names like Sue, DT and Maya come to mind. So too does Rebecca, who already lives in CT and would, imo be the best choice to take on the enormous challenge of replacing Geno. [/QUOTE]
