Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3179881, member: 5798"] I know I'm going to sound like a "homer" here, because females from other programs have also acquired "meaningful" front office positions in the NBA recently (so be it). Positions that reflect not only their knowledge (understanding) and love of the game, but their playing experience and management (people) skills as well. Players with a UConn pedigree have been coveted by coaches and GM's in the WNBA for the last two decades. Now they are becoming attractive to NBA presidents and CEO's as well. Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore and even Rebecca Lobo would also receive very serious "courting" overtures should they choose to listen to offers for coaching or front office positions. Kia Nurse and Rene Montgomery would also be good candidates for coaching positions when they're ready. There are many other UConn alums that would be great coaches that I fail to mention. Look at the UConn alums that ARE coaching at this time and building successful programs. I mentioned in another post that Kara Lawson (Tennessee) is ready right now to be a coach in college or the W. Playing for Geno and UConn does not "guarantee" success, but it sure gives you the tools and preparation to do so, regardless of the direction/path you choose to take after graduation. In a word, it doesn't hurt. Potential recruits, please take note. ;) Congratulations to our own Swintayla Marie Cash-Canal on her new position with the Pelicans. Madam Vice-President, we know you'll do a great job for the Pelicans. We know you'll continue to be a high profile representative of the UConn program and a positive role model for young female b-ballers everywhere, as you continue to blaze trails and pave the way for those coming behind you. ;) [/QUOTE]
