1) Taking the UConn job
2) Hiring Chris Dailey
3) Signing Kerry Bascomb
4) Signing Rebecca Lobo (local talent)
5) Signing Shea Ralph (national talent)
6) Signing Svetlana Abrosimova (international talent)
7) Signing Kristen Waulters (she helped get the Fab Five together)
8) Signing Diana Taurasi (no comment needed)
9) Signing Maya Moore (no comment needed)
10) Signing Brianna Stewart (no comment needed)
11) Tennessee and Pat Summitt (no comment needed)
12) Kathy Auriemma (the cataylst behind it all)

Wasn't Bascomb already there?

Wasn't Bascomb already there?

No
Peggy Walsh and Renee Agajarian were there.
Kerry Basom & Lishness or Lamb were Geno's staff recuits

Wasn't Bascomb already there?

I thought that too. She wasn’t.

Kerry Bascom was the star of the 1991 Final Four team. She arrived at UConn in 1987, two years after Geno/CD.

The first star

Yes. The first All-American.

Tough question for someone with 11 NC's only one to pick from the hundreds of other accomplishments.

Seriously, Geno's first win was the biggest. Without his first win he would be oh-fer-1,217.
