Message: [QUOTE="billnaples, post: 4590377, member: 6453"] An interesting question but since we are talking about an offer that was made to Auriemma some 38/39 years ago really covers it all. Think about if an experienced head coach had been targeted he/she would likely have been older, probably would have retired by now. If you know who made the decision to hire Geno why not ask him who was the alternate choice. If the person responsible for the hire is still among us find him and ask. And why not take great joy that the offer went to Geno, that he took it, and he brought CD on board right from the get go. All the assistants that he has had over the years have all played important parts and it was good to have them. [/QUOTE]
