Message: [QUOTE="hjoerring, post: 2477767, member: 3630"] Better late then never; but, there a a number of young coaches out there who could step into the job. Whilst prior coaching experiencing is always preferable- given the complexity of athletics today, of equal importance is the experience of recruiting at the highest level. People like Sue and Diana are wishful thinking- beyond name recognition there is little there. (They would both need to be accomplished assistant somewhere else.) The "family-tree" has not really been fruitful- for this or that reasons. Shea and Marissa are possibilities as a pair because of proven recruitment and connections forged on the recruitment circuit. Replacing a very successful anybody is always a problem- especially when the knee-jerk mentality is to keep doing the same. There might be some WNBA coaches who would jump ship-- White jumped from Indian(?) to Emory(?) is a case in point. Personally, I like Reeves in Minn. She might entertain a move in 2-years when the current dynasty there comes to an end. I also like the Harvard coach. Uconn will find the to pay a coach- they all do. We are not talking FB + MBB. The problem will be Uconn Fan Base. They all think FB + MBB should be x10 better. Will we spin our selves into a black hole when the team climb back down to where the others hangout? How many readers here are upset when the team let their opponent comes within 30-points. Pure madness. It is this "madness" and the damage it may do to the Program that worries me-- I can already read it in the words of some in this thread. Hope I am wrong. [/QUOTE]
