Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4154986, member: 11664"] I'm not presupposing all fans, only some fans which may or may not be the majority. It depends who you talk to since there are countless fans. I don't know where you are from but I'm a CT resident and a UConn alumni, so maybe I feel a closer connection than some other fans who are not. The many fans that I read posts of elsewhere don't seem to have any problem responding to this poll or discussing the topic. There's always a few folks that object but I can't understand why they simply don't ignore the topic if they're not comfortable with it. FYI, Jen didn't exactly step away from coaching. She was fired by GMU and suddenly a WNBA job offering appeared that helped her decide to relocate back to Connecticut close to Storrs. As far as recruiting, that's just another factor that can affect who a poll taker votes for. It's possible that if there was another HC they may want to clean house or get rid of some of the current assistant coaches and bring in some other former UConn superstars People mention Sue Bird or DT, imagine if someone of their caliber became assistant coaches. Then there would be a trio or quartet of UConn alumni running the team and recruiting too. Just because Morgan Valley, Jamelle Elliot and Chris Daley hold the jobs now doesn't mean that they would all remain on the staff. Those jobs pay a lot of money about 1/4 - 1/3 of a million $$$ per year, so they could be used to lure in other former stars with bigger names and more recruiting power. Then recruitment wouldn't all be reliant only on the name & reputation of the HC. This isn't about doom & gloom. Quite the opposite. It's also about the rebirth of the UConn staff post Geno, and how UConn WBB can become better in different ways. I hear enough doom & gloom from our WBB fans about how the glory days of the program are over which I don't agree with. [/QUOTE]
