Let it be known that Geno is the greatest WBB coach ever. Had he chosen to coach MBB or Pros, he would have been very successful, no doubt.

His record since 2000 -01 is 15 wins versus 13 losses; in OT he has 2 w & 3 L Unfortunately the last 3 OT losses are recent and during critical games. Last year’s game Semi FF stopped a 111 win streak and the loss agt Stanford 11/17/14 stopped a 47 win streak. In retrospect the Stanford loss turn out to be very costly. Can you imagine the record  could have been 111 + 48= 159!!! “We are spoiled fans.”

*denotes games where Geno didn’t foul a true 3 point shooter while ahead by 2 points.

** denotes a game where Geno following a time out, having enough time left on the clock to call a play with a chance to win and at the very least with little time left on the clock to go to another overtime. Instead he gave the ball to someone other than a steady hand like Kia Nurse who would have made a good pass or would have taken a shot with little time left on the clock.
