Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 2047709, member: 7093"] I think it will be the end of an era when Coach Auriemma has had enough. I don't know if CD would want to carry on....maybe a transitional year or two? But there will not be another Geno. UCONN will try to carry on with the same approach, but I have never seen anyone able to express themselves, and what he is trying to do, as well as Geno. He can tailor messages to the psyche of each individual player, and make them want to maximize their skills. No other coach can do that. Most other coaches become famous when they recruit well, and their players either excel and win championships, or not. Geno doesn't need the best talent ( per other evaluators ) to develop the best players. He sees things that no one else does. He knew, in my opinion, what Gabby Williams could do where others did not. And he brought it out. It almost doesn't matter who replaces him when that time comes. UCONN will, with coach G's input, do everything they can to maintain the Uconn women's BB program. But it won't ever be the same. What we are experiencing is unique. [/QUOTE]
