Message: [QUOTE="huskyrob1, post: 2560975, member: 1226"] I really disagree, I'm optimistic because coaching is everything. If Geno and Jim Penders can continue rolling out great teams in a crappy league, then UConn can do the same thing in men's basketball, and if you think Geno gets all the top players, ask yourself how highly recruited Gabby Williams and Kia Nurse were when Geno signed them and if they are better players now because of great coaching. Dare I say HCRE is on the right track with the football program as well. We need a young hungry basketball coach who can recruit, teach the game, motivate his players, lead and coach during games, and hire the right assistants. Jim Calhoun was that coach 35 years ago and he did it in the toughest league in history. Easier said than done but we can find the next great UConn men's basketball coach and reclaim what the program has lost. Smart people learn by their mistakes, even the ones in our athletic dept and the UConn administration, and the BOT. [/QUOTE]
