Message: [QUOTE="Twolf, post: 2543730, member: 8437"] Most players and coaches have a separate personality when they are in “competition” mode, compared to their everyday off court or off field personality. Most players or coaches who are typically laid back or easy going soon find that if they bring that personality to the court or field other competitors are going to take advantage of them. It’s not really that much different in the business world, or in the workplace. If all the negative connotations about Geno that you read in this forum about interactions with players, other coaches, parents, etc. were accurate I would just ask a simple question- how has he not only kept his job at the same school for decades, but also thrived, along with building the model program in women’s D-1 basketball? The best sounding board to determine how to judge these questions is to ask former players, who owe Geno nothing, & he has no influence on their daily lives. You get an objective answer instead of the opinions of people who have never interacted with the man, or have some predetermined agenda.. I’m sure he would admit many mistakes, but his heart must be in the right place or he wouldn’t have survived and been highly successful in the ultra competitive world of D-1 sports. JMO [/QUOTE]
