Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3008867, member: 7492"] I parsed out your comments to zero in on a key point you bring up: MM has a GREAT and established coaching tree to chose from with either proven top D1 coaches, mid-major head coaches or top assistants that would give a Confidence to the administration no matter who they chose, chances are it will be a good choice. UConn and Tenn do not have that luxury as neither Geno nor Pat have anyone with very good success for a similar confidence. Micki DeMoss is clearly the best of the LV tree but she’s older and there are prior issues of concern. In the Huskies case the only HC with success is D3 Carla Berube. Jen, Tanya, Jamelle have all been underwhelming as HC to warrant giving them the reigns of this program. Marissa is off to a good start but still an unknown. As such, it raises minor concerns then to give it to unproven Shea. Sue, Diana and Rebecca are non-starters for me, despite their Basketball experience, they have never dealt with all the requirements coaching entails and I don’t want on the job training at that point. Am I overly concerned, no, but it is not a slam dunk like it is for ND. My own preference if UConn wants to stay in the family is to give it to Shea. [/QUOTE]
