No one knows whether there is a shred of truth in this (he may want to coach into his 70s, esp. with his outstanding staff around him and fantastic resources), but, to be sure, other coaches are saying this about him.
I like your trust and belief in the incoming class. Yet, by their rating (which does not show heart or what Geno magic does) they are not comparable to 2012. Uconn needs for Butler to become a Steff, Collier to become a Tuck, Katie Lou to become a 5/8th Stew, Dangerfield to become 1/2 Moriah and the rest of the newbies to hit the floor running. Chong and Ekmark are Chong and Ekmark I see no changes there. oh yes Gabby must be Gabby but better. Weak isn't ever good to put to a Uconn class or team but some realities exist. What is certain ND, Baylor, Tenn, USC, Stanford and a dozen others are thrilled with what Uconn will look like next year.
Next year, I see the "normal" UConn powerhouse, not a historic one. I'm looking for a Final Four and 0-3 losses, especially if Morgan returns. IF we get Megatron in 2017 and at least one of the studs in 2018, I really, really like our chances of extending the dynasty.
Coaching, with being on the road a lot sounds great unless your have traveled for business a lot. At some point in the next 3 or so years ==Geno with his millions stacked away will get messages from his aging family saying : Take it down a notch or two. Maybe coach emeritus with Shea (I wouldn't accept that If I was Shea). Smart people don't wait to be carried off the field on their shield. How old was Geno father when he died? His mother has longevity genes. And one never knows which gene has the shorter timetable listed in you..
I don't know the schedule for next year, but I suspect (if the newbies are not super stars) 3 losses is on the low side and the final 4 with or with out Tuck is high expectations. I believe even Geno knows Tuck will not return next year--what would she gain if she stays --what will she lose by not going out this year (this year she's most likely a 3 or 4 Wnba draft choice) where would she go next year?
When Geno decides to retire I hope he announces it in April and leaves in June.
We don't know about Morgan. What would she gain--another year in college, another degree, another year with the best coach around, setting an untouchable record, "mothering" the youngsters on the team, and not having Stewie and Moriah ahead of her in the draft. I think it's about 60-40 that she goes, but she may be back.
Yeah, the talent margin shrinks or maybe disappears, though maybe only temporarily. But the coaching and intensity remain. I think we need a real stud in 2017 or 2018 to increase our chances. We'll see. Maybe we get more than one.
How clever of you to notice.
No insult intended about KLS. My reference was to the other "Big Three"; Taurasi, Moore, and Stewart. Eight of the ten NC's have been won while one of the three was standing on the court. KLS will be a star, like many other former Husky stars, but D, Maya, and Stewie have been game changers, NPOY's and the dominant force in WCBB while they played.
Ahhh - sorry, I thought you meant "this year's" big three.
No spitting match 21 but you make 62 sound ancient
. You may have missed the bulletin proclaiming 62 to be the new 52. 
No biggie but take into consideration Geno will be winding up his National Team responsibilities in the near future. That and he has a staff along with a program that can run on auto pilot as he simply only has to tweak / reinforce the assistants oversight of the team, this only making his job easier as time goes on. Yes he is aging as we all do but to predict the end of the line at this point is silly. You can bet against him coaching until he is 75 or 80 (which is quite a span from 62) but I would bet he still has a few good recruiting years to go. 
Well if Katie Lou turns out to be our only major scoring threat she will be double teamed.who really thought Stewie would be Stewie?
and why cant KLS be the "next Stewie"... KLS may be the MOP of this year's Final Four
who knows
EVERYONE knew Stewie would be Stewie. When she was recruited some said she was good enough to go straight to the WNBA and that would she be flushing it on every trip up the court. Hyperbole it was, but those types of players come with that type of hype and universal recognition and are as can't miss from a recruiting standpoint as you can get. In other words there is no doubt what you're getting in a player like that. It was the same with Taurasi, Maya, and Delle Donne (I don't know if there was hype for when Lobo was recruited) where anyone who saw them play knew that they would be unbelievable history making type players before they even stepped onto a college campus. When you see one of those players, even in high school, you just know. To my knowledge, there really aren't any players in high school right now that are at that level. The DTs, Mayas, and Stewies of the world don't come along every day, and luckily for us Geno has had a pretty good track record in pulling in those players.
Don't think KLS is gonna end up there with the big 3 (Stewart, DT, Moore), but I think she has a shot at that next tier with Charles, Bird, Lobo, Abrosimova.
Well I for one was one who thought she had a shot a being on the same level as DT/Moore. There were a few of us.
