Shea's Future?

[DaddyChoc]

if you dont think Geno is grooming Shea or that Shea is closely observing all the details of what Geno... She may go on more recruiting trips with Geno than CD does these days.

I just dont understand how someone thinks Shea is just helping "our girls" come up with a Ramen noodles recipe in their dorms.

How can she become a head coach at UNC but not at UConn... weird thinking (head coaching experience is your criteria)

"I will tell you that Coach Auriemma is going to coach until he falls over," Ralph said. "He is a coach at heart, and it is fun every day to see his energy and how his mind works."

I always find it a little to a lot surprising when you engage in a debate and feel as though you have knocked your opponents position down a few pegs or more and instead of getting the concession that he was in a weak position he chooses to abandon the conversation. Just a thought.

UConn would never hire someone who was an assistant to an established head coach. Even if that coach displayed confidence and moxie. ..... or would they?

Wait a minute, didn't they do that with Geno?????

Well if we take Geno's word for it, his biggest qualification for the job when he interviewed was his answer to 'What do you need from us, if we offer you the job?' to which he unlike all the more qualified interviewees answered 'Nothing!' At a time when the Uconn AD had nothing to offer the WCBB program and its next coach, that was the PERFECT answer, and definitely made him the most qualified contender for the Uconn job. Plus he ate the d___ donut when it was offered!

Shocking isn't it.

Being retired and having days with absolutely nothing to do except research matters that may have an impact on our virtual water cooler conversations out here in the BY led to the following: So put this into the mix. Since John Toner hired Calhoun and Auriemma in 1985 there have been, including Toner, 4 A.D.'s and two I believe interim holders of that position. In addition there have been 5, yes FIVE, school Presidents. If not for the issues surrounding the APR for the Men's basketball team which, like it or not, was the primary reason that Calhoun retired and Ollie took over, UConn would have had NO CHANGES in the head coach of either program for 30 years. Many assistants have come and gone, several to HC jobs. Says an awful lot about the stability of both programs. A smooth transition to Shea at an as yet undetermined date would be right and just.
