Geno's career w-l ?

[Kibitzer]

Of course we all know that Geno was compiling all these stats by playing only cupcakes in the Big East, not that lineup of powerhouses that comprise that 500 times tougher SEC.

 

[Vowelguy]

1) Summitt ....1098
2) Hatchell*... 908
3) Stringer*... 901
4) Conradt .... 900
5) Vanderveer*. 894
6) Stevens*.... 882
7) Auriemma*... 839

With 32.2 wins/year, Geno would cross 1000 at the end of the 2018 season (senior year for Ekmark et al).

Geno only has 839 wins? I think he should consider transferring. I know he won't because he likes our new huskywolf logo so much.

This thread just points out how much success can be coach driven. I see UConn (and Geno's) success in:
- recruiting (not just good recruits, but ones that fit in the program)
- using the players (that we just suggested were well chosen) to their maximum ability
- instilling the pursuit of perfection, will to win, etc.
- great x and o coach
- doing all this without much internal drama

How many other coaches meet or exceed Geno at those individual talents? Now put all 5 together.

 

[HuskyNan]

839–133 for a 86.3% winning percentage

He is just behind Barmore, also at 86.9% if you care about Division I only.

Just imagine if Geno had coached in the Sun Belt like Barmore.

Just imagine if Geno had coached in the Sun Belt like Barmore.

Unfortunately, we're about to not have to imagine it.
