Geno still has some unfinished business to take care of before he hangs up his coaching whistle…:)

You said it!! I'm so glad that the 5 year signing gets rid of " when will GENO retire or how much longer will he coach". I REALLY hope Chris Daily has been extended also. The last thing you want to do is break up a winning combination like they are. Now I know my remaining years will be as enjoyable as the 11 years I have been watching Uconn BB with GENO and CHRIS .In 60 days I will be 91 and have loved Uconn's Women since I saw their first game. With this extention GENO will never ever be second in wins. GO GENO AND CHRIS!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!

That doesn't mean he won't retire before 5 years are up, but in the meantime it'll help in recruiting because recruits won't think he's leaving in a year.

Yeah I'm sure that was a consideration, but I don't think Geno would have signed such an extension if there wasn't at least a decent chance of fulfilling it, so this is a good sign for those nervous about an imminent retirement after Vanderveer and Bluder's.
 
So if Geno coaches another 5 years, ending up with 1400 or so wins, is there any real possibility that any other coach will ever surpass his win total?

Wes Moore, at age 67, is currently 2nd among active D1 coaches, approximately 400 wins behind Geno.

So, can Geno get to 1,400 wins? He needs 187. He needs 4 to pass Tara.

Greatest number of wins is the only quantifiable target that's left for him. he already has most championships, and best winning percentage.

After he attains the greatest number of wins, it's all gravy after that.

Records can be broken but whatever Geno's final wins number is, that record may be unreachable. Pull up the most wins list and I don't see anyone still coaching that can catch him even with his present total. If Dawn or Mulkey can get 30 wins a year and coach into their 80s they have a shot.

CD & Geno are working on being "dance partners" [NCAA's known as the "Big Dance" before it was March Madness] for 3 times as long as Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire (16 years for them - 1933-1949)...

"just keep dancing, just keep dancing..."

Go Huskies!!!

$2.94M for those 30 second interviews at half time and at the end of a win on SNY/ESPN/Fox broadcasts. WOW....plus whatever the consulting is.

He does a bunch of shows too on TV and local radio.
 
We can all be exited about this, but the truth is about the flimsiest contract in America is a college sports coach's contract.

To quote Rebecca on Geno from the above post: "He changes lives."

We've heard that before:

When she said "I am here tonight completely because of you" to Geno her father shrugged and made a face. Why the camera chose to venture there I don't know
