Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 3544113, member: 15"] Geno has said he wants no part of picking his successor. He said that in March 2019 at the regionals in Albany: [I]“I really would have no opinion on that because maybe a bunch of my assistants would want that job, or former assistants,” he said. “So I think it's hard for a person in our situation to say ‘I'm going to hand pick the next coach.’ Anybody who has tried to do that has not really done a good job with it. I don't know what the answer is. I just know that whoever does step into those situations does not have it easy, not at all, especially if [the previous coach] is still around the program and there’s still a connection to the program, because you're always going to be measured against that. I don't know how you can function in that kind of environment.”[/I] The job will be left to the AD. I can not imagine Benedict (or whoever it is) going outside the program. UConn won't be in a position to afford a big-time coach and no big-time coach would want to succeed Geno. It will likely be Shea. [/QUOTE]
