Message: [QUOTE="Husky68, post: 2560688, member: 173"] No it's not a coincidence. He gets great players. I'll give you contrary example. A kid named Elena Della Donne was #1 in high school, committed to UConn, never played at UConn and transferred and played for Delaware. Did she turn out to be failure; hardly. She was college AA, WNBA allstar and Olympian. This year his team has a 7th man who was #1 recruit from high school and a 6th man who was an ACC 1st team player. Watch how lame Geno's 2nd team plays and you'll see it's not all coaching. Coaching plays a factor in player development but the major, major onus is on the player. If not Molly Bent on Geno's team would be as good as Crystal Dangerfield; and she ain't. A team of Molly Bent's would play like crap (like UConn boys), a team of Crystal Dangerfield's would play like a well oiled machine (like Villanova boys). Talent 1st, effort 2nd, and coaching 3rd (and moves the needle only so far given the teams 1st 2 factors makeup). [/QUOTE]
