Wow. The second half of the DePaul game probably pushed him into the digestion procedure.

Get well soon Geno

Wish him well. They make it sound straight forward enough but any surgical procedure is daunting, particularly if it is what I suspect it is.

Time for CD to extend her coaching record.

 

[Bronxjeff]

As I am Geno's age, I know that recovery takes longer than it used to! I hope he doesn't push himself and enjoys the holiday week off.

Depends how we play I suppose.

 

[meyers7]

Yea, this year is definitely gonna give him some indigestion. Get well soon Geno.

On the other hand I don't believe CD has ever lost a game.

 

[eebmg]

So, will CD use the bench differently?

So, will CD use the bench differently?

Yes. She will move her own butt over one spot!

Best wishes to the GOAT of WCBB Coaching

Best wishes to Geno! Try to relax! You know, as we all do, that CD has "got it."

 

[Woof 101]

Good luck coach and get well soon!
Two great out takes from this article. CD is 9 & 0 filling in for Geno and a quote from Doug Bruno.
Bruno on why he continued to schedule UConn during the Huskies’ AAC days. They’ll be reunited in the Big East next season: “I believe in playing the best and they are the best. They’re the best program in the history of intercollegiate basketball men or women. They’ve set the bar.”

As Cat reminded me, CD is undefeated.

A "medical procedure" for diverticulitis could be as simple as antibiotics under a physician 's care and a liquid diet for a few days.

Let it be something innocuous and trifling.

Ahem, I'm not a cat.

 

[Bama fan]

Ahem, I'm not a cat.

As wise old Uncle Bill S. asked, "What's in a name?" Now as to your floral similarity or unique aroma, I am uncertain.

Where is it reported (BY Keyboard Doctors don't count) that Geno WILL miss the OK game, as stated in the thread title?
Everything I have seen so far has only said that he may miss the game but at this point, it has not been actually determined.
Can't wait for the multitude of Keyboard Coaching threads on how CD should coach the game and who she should start and the minutes that the bench players should play.

 

[cbraarj]

CD coached the Huskies to thier first Big East Tournament Championship while Geno served a suspension for scheduling To many games if I remember correctly! She also led them to the 1997 BE Tournament Title when Genos Dad passed away!

 

[JordyG]

Now I know why Geno was moving around so much on the sidelines.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Ahem, I'm not a cat.

Where do you think she got it???

I had surgery in 2011 for diverticulitis and was pretty much laid up for 3 weeks with the healing process. I wish him well.

I think it said, surgical procedure. As in cutting with knife....

 

[Shorty Dee]

I am praying that the surgery goes well for Coach Geno, and he has a speedy recovery!!

Ordinarily but severe cases require minor surgery.

That’s right. If she has any questions, or needs some direction, she can always turn to us (the boneyard), you know we’ll keep her straight.

One article stated that he was having minor surgery on Wednesday.

It can be highly variable - my father had it, one of my brothers, and I had it. Yeah, it's the family male ailment in my clan. To be blunt, the longer you ignore it, it seems the worse the procedure and the recovery. My father ignored it a long time, and had major surgery with major lifestyle changes, an ostomy. My older brother ignored it a short time, and developed peritonitus, and it took that 3 weeks you mention. I noticed it fairly early, and was laid up 10 days, and two of those were because some of the hospital departments don't do weekend work, except emergencies. All of us were younger than Geno when we dealt with it. It's really impossible to predict, without knowing details prohibited by HIPA.

Similar background in my family. I think one major takeaway for anyone is not to ignore gut pain, particularly if it's in the lower left quadrant - not much under there but the colon.
