Two words: Shelly Pennefather.

She was a great player for 'Nova. She is now a cloistered nun, Sister Rose Marie.

After a really bad practice, Geno probably has wanted to join her.

That is such an impressive list! And if you did the same list from 1995 forward half of those names (and losses) would disappear. And UNC with 4 wins would be at #5. That might be true if you started in 1991 as well.

What is also interesting, is that Harry has another member of the list as an assistant.

To UcM's point, talk about talent gap after 1995. Reminder of an earlier time when schools like Providence were WBB strong, and UConn not so much. Times change.

Yeah, Providence, Villanova, and Georgetown had great teams and players. It was as if it was a carryover from the Immaculata days.

Title IX in action - as more and bigger schools began to take women's sports seriously many of the early powerhouses couldn't compete. That and poor management either by ADs or coaches. Harry has impressed me with the way he has managed to keep his teams competitive while clearly not getting the same level of talent. Reminds me of what Princeton did on the men's side for years.

Each win cost Harry one of the remaining hairs in his combover. I don't think there are any wins left.
