But if you tone it down a notch in terms of context and consider he [B][U]is[/U][/B] "Phil Jackson" and "Red Auerbach"-- if those guys "walked on water" then so has Geno. As for the bold-- please define "the last few years" vs how many years has she been competing vs UCONN? Unfortunately we can''t go back-and-forth much more. After this post - you can have last word. The mods won't want a lot of back-and-forth so have at it. :) You take Muffett I'll easily take Geno. His 36-1 team from 3 years ago in which his team had no business going 36-1 was nothing short of amazing. Transforming Gabby to being such a "NATIONAL" beast as an inside forward and winning so much and being so dominant for such a small team was amazing. IMO you put way too much emphasis on a last second jump shots in one-and-done tournament specifically designed to try to get upsets. The fact that you are trying t take away in any manner success form Geno because he has gotten DT, Maya and Stewart is just preposterous. The campus of UCONN is not as flashy as other campus such as ND. The conference UCONN is currently in stinks. Yet how many more excuses will you and others keep providing if UCONN gets Fudd? Geno promotes a style of play which gets these type of players. You might mistakenly isolate this by calling it "recruiting only." But style of play is more that recruiting too as i gave the Maya Moore example previously. Some coaches would have had her play sf. When Geno/UCONN got DT she thought of UCONN as "Showtime." That's part of coaching. Yet you seem to want to minimize style of play. That's part of coaching. That's teh same style Stewart sees etc. A final point. There was a poster on here whom I think got a few "likes" identified the 36-1 team from years ago as "less than stellar." Can you imagine what that poster along with others who agreed would have been thinking as a ND fan in the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 seasons in which his team got upset in the S16 and E8 even though they were a favorite / and a number 1 seed? How was Mufftet's in game coaching then? So yeah -- in context- if you win 11 championships you can claim you have walked on water. [/QUOTE]
