I don't think Muffet is remotely close to being second only to Geno "of her generation". For one thing she coached against Pat Summitt for most of her generation, and Summitt is hands down second only to Geno. Beyond that, Muffet has only one natty. Tara VanDerveer has two and a longer record of success at the highest level of WCBB. Muffet also had her chances to beat teams not named UCONN in the FF recently, and she lost them all. She's a great regular season coach, but when it comes to winning the big one, only doing it once doesn't put her anywhere remotely close to the same stratosphere as Geno and Pat. And that one time she enjoyed the luxury of not having to face a UCONN team at full strength, since our two best players were out injured. It's likely she wouldn't have any if it weren't for that. She belongs in the discussion along with VanDerveer and Kim Mulkey, but only as a very distant third, or perhaps even fourth or fifth.
