UConn has perhaps the best basketball coach in history, and a men's coach who needs coaching on how to coach (and how to recruit high IQ players)

Make Geno overall head coach, all basketball teams.
Make KO associate head coach, mens' team.

Geno teaches, KO implements.
Recruiting, keep KO who the players apparently like, and add in the best teacher in the history of the game. "Play for Kevin, be taught by Geno"

Have co-ed mixed practices and scrimmages and combine the forums here and you'll get Chief and Deepster both on board.

The original post is one of the weakest fishing attempts I can recall ever seeing.

The key to success is getting big fish to nibble on the hook and a pro like me won't even sniff this one, kids.

I think they should have hired you. Didn't you submit your resume'?

Where'd you get that picture of @August_West watching last year's tourny?

Better idea make Kevin Ollie the women's head coach, make Geno the men's head coach, give Geno the elixir of youthfulness and declare him Czar of the Men's Basketball program. That way we can answer the chicken or the egg debate once and for all.

Why don't you try your cutting edge fandom in the MAAC? The Quinnipiac job just opened up. You can start from scratch.

Come on guys, you can blast the idea better than that.

You have a year's worth of frustrations, and here's the post that you can rip apart.

We should have the women's team play in our tournament. They understand passing, and fundamentals, and stuff.

Not blasting the idea. When brainstorming, there are no stupid ideas or questions. Just stupid people who articulate them.

Do you have any idea how emasculating this would be for KO? Do you think there's more than a 0.000% chance KO would go for it?

Not a good idea. The guy who bought the love potion had a greater chance of success.

This is way too far inside the box. You don't address so many other areas where improvement can be made. In addition to Geno head coach of all basketball teams, you need to hire Jim Calhoun as a special consultant for basketball affairs, bring back Clyde to teach the bigs, hire Ray to teach shooting and finally you need to convince Arnie to be the S&C coach.

Now that's a recipe for success!

Not without precedent. This past Fall, WCSU flip-flopped the head coaches of the men's and women's soccer teams.
