Message: [QUOTE="BRS24, post: 5284894, member: 197"] One of my favorite quotes - [INDENT][I]"The cool thing for me was that I got to peek behind the curtain for almost 20 years. People talk about it being a machine and all that. Yeah, it is. But those people care, and they get the best out of their players" Ralph stated. "They have people that come in, coaches and staff members, year in and year out, that just are really special. And for them to do what they've done is a testament to great leadership, great work ethic. And say what you want to say, but he's the best coach in the history of our game."[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] This is what a lot of coaches/programs try to emulate, there may be spots of success, however without a consistent staff, low turnover of rosters, and a recruitment of players that understand why there's no name on the back of the unis, etc, etc, is why UConn is what it is. Yes, I'm a homer, however Geno & CD have made the same demands, set the same expectations, and have run the program the same way for years. The players might not have to wear hose anymore (ha ha), however they still don't wear headphones in public, they "kit up" with the same travel warmups, all wear the same color sneakers at games ...
