Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 4058951, member: 11020"] Curt Miller has been a successful coach no matter where he has been. You don't step into a Big 10 job without any experience, so what about before that hire? He was at Bowling Green before that job, compiling a 258-92 record, conference title 8 years in a row, and coach of the year in the MAC 6 times. Why does the next coach have to be a UConn grad as some have mentioned? Geno made UConn what it is today, so a big question is, are the recruits coming here because it is UConn, or are they coming because Geno is here? If its Geno, than we need a big time coach to come here, and I don't believe any great college coach would want the job. If the coach doesn't already have a reputation for winning, than the program will slowly take a break from "greatness". Curt Miller rebuilt the Conn. Sun after the disastrous run of his predecessor, turning them from a non playoff team to the favorite to win the WNBA championship this year. He is a great coach and I believe recruits would love to play for a successful pro coach, especially at the number one school in the history of WCBB. As far as recruiting, thats what assistants are for. [/QUOTE]
