Message: [QUOTE="Bronx23, post: 2519795, member: 8501"] I think this obviously is thinking outside the box, in that we generally don't recognize the #2 person in many things. But this is not the usual situation. This is someone who has been with Geno through it all. So being the assistant / associate head coach to maybe the greatest sports coach ever in any sport is not something that will easily ever be repeated. They are clearly a team and balance and compliment one another extremely well. I think one needs to consider both Genos and their former players input in her influence on many of their successes in basketball and life. In most successful businesses there's a person in charge and then their 2nd in command. However they play it, each handles different aspects of what must be done. In sports and basketball in particular the best analogy or comparison as it comes to players is Michael Jordan (probably the consensus greatest player ever) and his sidekick Scottie Pippen. Jordan was GREAT but I doubt he would have won as many championships without Pippen. Just as not everyone is cut out to play at U Conn on the women's side, some are better at being that complimentary part to the star. I think this is so rare and special that I truly hope she is inducted. It would give hope and import to succeeding which speaks to so much of what this twosome and team are about. Bronx 23 [/QUOTE]
