Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2111261, member: 5798"] WCBB coaches, players and fans across the country often wonder: "Just what is Geno Auriemma's secret.? What is it that he does that makes his program successful year in and year out? What does he do that's different from what the other coaches do.? Well now we know. The secret is out. Like the late [B]Paul Harvey[/B] use to say on his daily radio program: "[I]And now you know the rest of the story[/I]". Somehow I don't think it's as simple as Geno makes it sound. Why? Because knowing what Geno does, and how he does it, does not mean YOU can do it. He just said it's getting harder and harder to find players that are skilled, selfless, and are willing to be coached, and sacrifice their personal stats for the team. How many college coaches go into a recruit's home, not make them any promises, and tell them we'd love to have you, but we're going to win with or without you?. Once a coach develops his/her own unique style and coaching philosophy, it's hard for them to change midstream to another style they see someone else being successful with. As we all know, most coaches have large egos. So, given the right players and scenarios, they think [U]their way[/U] will work. All they have to do is get their players to buy in, and commit to the program, its philosophy and each other, and the championships will soon follow. Easier said than done. [/QUOTE]
