Does that mean ND/Muffet was better in 2011 when they adjusted after 3 losses to beat UConn when it mattered most?
Poll: Will Geno's coaching the US National team help or hurt recruiting?

there have been times when I thought Muffet out coached him. When you have a coach as good as Muffet your going to be out coached sometimes. If you look at records though I take Geno over Muffet, Jeff and even Pat

No not kidding at all I think it's a serious consideration going forward. Look at the teams that have left us behind in a new league of nameless teams with no rivalries. If we don't get into another league (ACC or Big 10) before Geno retires we may be in a world of hurt. I've been a season ticket holder for 20 years and I'm sad to see all our league rivalries gone after this season. Yes we'll have great OOC games like we always do but I'm not looking forward to going to league games against teams I can't even get excited to see. At this point I can't name one I'm looking forward to playing, heck I don't think I could name 5 new league members without looking them up.

Well I guess I am looking forward to Temple and Cinci because of the coaches, and I can't say that there were a whole lot of league rivals that got me all that excited in the old Big East. Rutgers was exciting for a few years, then ND has been exciting for a few years, but Providence, Seton Hall, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Villanova, DePaul, South Florida, meh. Can't remember the last time any of those teams actually won a game and few of the contests were very competitive. I mean, we have lost a total of 14 regular season conference games in the last 14 years - drop out Rutgers and ND and the number is halved.

Don't forget that we had some good games with BC, West Virginia, Georgetown, St John's and Louisville. I just don't see a lot of excitement over any of the teams in our new league but I'll by tickets and continue to support the team but a lot of people won't. Not looking forward to the competition in the new league as you said, meh!

I voted that Geno's involvement will help a little......... It certainly can't hurt. Its advertising.
As long as the UConn WBB team continues to be FF participants , before 2016 and get the publicity , and Geno gets even more publicity as national coach , the recuits will consider the Huskies even more.
Conference realignment may have a small impact , but its going to be more what UConn does as a team and in the NCAA Tournament that will carry more weight with recruits.

You can have a boatload of very talented players - getting them to buy into a system and play as a cohesive unit in a very short amount of time takes a great coach who garners a lot of respect.
I also think that he (Geno) respects his players as well.
without this you just have a boatload of talented players who will play well individually...but will they win it all? who knows?

So, you're sayin, kids usually won't leave, if their parents cook at home with propane?

Geno owned Pat. He had a 13-6 edge, and then during the Parker years, Pat won 3 in a row and it was 13-9, which is where it stands now. Since Parker, had they played at all, UCONN would have won, and it would have gotten out of control - maybe close to 18 to 20-9.

Ah, memories. I first learned the word Propinquity in a Dobie Gillis episode, which sadly, few will remember.

- Hey Phil, Been enjoying your posts the past week.
-Yeah, Dobie Gillis was a great show! Although, I've always felt cheated that final episode never actually showed the impress gang clubbing Maynard G. Krebbs and Shanghaiing him aboard the S.S. Minnow. Freaking censors.

Come on Phil, we're all old here.
Doby and Maynard
Nah, Propinquity was about Zelda and Dobie.
How in the world can you follow Tonyc. He said everything that needs to be said, so I will just add a little.
How could it hurt ? Geno recruits different than anyone else, and he has proved that his method works. You Boneyarders know he recruits team players and unselfish players. The young players (possible recruits) see all these superstars playing their guts out for Geno in the Olympics, and it puts thought in their heads. That is 8 years of Olympic coaching. 8 years for young high schoolers and middle schoolers to watch Geno coaching Olympics ! How could it hurt !
He will not let the Olympics interfere with coaching UCONN. He knows and we know we have the best assistants in WCBB. He will delegate when he has to. Did he not come back from the Olympics
and win # 8. Well we are going to get # 9 this year, and that sure as hell ain't goinna hurt !

Given the short practice time and improving competition, a win is no sure thing. I admire Geno for taking the job and the risk.

Yep Zelda Gilroy and Dobie Gillis. Last names so close in the alphabet that(back in the day) meant they would sit next to each other for their entire school career.
