Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2135963, member: 199"] This was posted on the VolNation board - Who was the last male HC to beat Uconn before Vic - i did the research because it struck me both as odd and curious - especially give the pre-game question about gender in coaching. So ... In the last ten years the teams to beat Uconn are Standford (3), ND (7), Baylor (2) and St John's (Barnes Arico 1) and Rutgers (1). So all women coaches. Prior to that: 2007 add in Pat, Sylvia, CViv, and LSU - Pokey was HC but fired/resigned before the NCAA and the interim HC was a man Bob Starkey 2006 Sylvia, Pat, CViv twice and Gail 2005 Tara, BC - Cathy Inglese, CViv, Muffett, Pat, MSU - JPM, ASU - Joan Bonvicini, Sylvia 2004 Gail, Muffet, Harry Perretta, BC- Cathy 2003 Harry 2002 undefeated 2001 Muffet twice and Pat 2000 Pat So as a full time head coach the answer is Harry Perretta in both 2003 and 2004, but as the HC on the sidelines in a game Bob Starkey in the elite 8 in 2007. Strange that it has worked out that way, but really there haven't been many men coaching perennial powers since the turn of the century and only one other male NC coach - Gary Blair at TX A&M.
