Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Listen. Next UConn women’s basketball coach doesn’t have to be a former player.

No it doesn’t. But my guess is that he will stay within the ‘family’.
If I were betting man, it’s a former player with success as coach.

Is there anything worse than replacing a legend with a former player with no coaching experience????

Sometimes you can squeeze a natty out of that before they decide they don't want to put the work in.

For what it's worth Taurasi is indicated she has no interest in coaching, but would be interested in owning a team.

The state of the Connecticut Football Program may have been advanced by some in Big 12 Country as a reason to hold on The Huskies, however I believe that the real reason has always been geography. They're primarily a Midwest/Southwest/Mountain West conference with a Florida School tacked on for recruiting purposes. Connecticut probably feels like another country to most of their membership. Easy solution ship SMU to the Big 12 and backfill with UConn. Stanford and Cal make no sense in either The ACC or Big 12, but the B1G probably doesn't see a bump adding the pair or they would have done it initially.

Laugh for the first part (although Ollie had coaching experience as an assistant) and pitential smart move on the second part if she is talking ownership of anything other than a WNBA franchise.

Great players do not always make great coaches. My first call would be to Carla. She has had Princeton ranked.

the first call would be to whoever Geno says it goes to

 

[Ha Who]

You realize once the cartel gets a hold of milking women’s basketball, we are nothing other than Immaculata and Delta State

Geno’s first call will be to Carl Berube

Why? That never works.

Shea. Elliott, Berube or whoever. If they are qualified they are qualified.

But what happens if dawn staley wants the job? You say no? Or even Kara Lawson.

It’s a Boneyard tradition. I keep coming here looking for key tweets and I decided to give up. But you are right.

Stanford and Cal make no sense in either The ACC or Big 12, but the B1G probably doesn't see a bump adding the pair or they would have done it initially.

Some of the talking heads said the Presidents of the B1G were for adding Stanford and Cal, but FOX wouldn’t pay for it. FOX would only pay for Washington and Oregon. No idea if it’s true or not. But, if we go back to 2022, after USC and UCLA announced they were joining the B1G, former B1G Commissioner Kevin Warren said the B1G wasn’t done expanding and he could see going to 20 schools. This was the same week Dennis Dodds named Washington, Oregon, Stanford, and Cal as B1G targets. The B1G Presidents and FOX did not like him publicly stating that and it contributed to a strained relationship that ultimately led him to leave the B1G.

at one point it turned from key tweets into the General Realignment Thread. then it became Metathread about Key Tweets. it has now reached its final form: The Thread, suitable for all things uconn huskies

 

[Waquoit]

Enough with UConn having to prove something. How about these other schools prove something?

Seriously! We got Okie State saying "You missed a spot over there". Please

We need a new thread titled Imminent Doom Tweets. Damn I hope our AD and President have a roadmap and can execute to get us to P4 asap. We are on the edge of a very bad outcome.

I think you’re right lol. Either that or get rid of it all together. Maybe we’d finally get an invite without the curse of this 957 page thread

That’s Key Tweets.

Zanetto leaked news, it torpedoed our chances and it was all about boosting his YouTube follower count.

You can’t make up some UConn people.
