Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4154244, member: 11664"] I think that UConn's record of success sells itself in part due to all of the national attention that the WBB program receives. Just about all of our former players are ambassadors for the program. The rest is about personality and continued coaching success based on recruitment and reputation. All of UConn's former players will rally around any qualified UConn alumni who is chosen to be the next HC.

This was intended to make the poll current and relevant to the realities of modern life, as well as entertaining. Fans here often say that they don't know what will happen post Geno and that his shoes can't be filled, but this gives us an idea, and a way for fans to express their opinion about who they would currently like his replacement to be. The fans need to believe that UConn WBB is larger than Geno. It's a lot like Lombardi and the Packers, the legendary tradition that Lombardi created lives on even though he's long gone. [/QUOTE]
