The solution is simple

He is great communicator and motivator to women players. Does that necessarily translate to young men flowing with testosterone?

That’s the lamest bunch of garbage excuses I’ve ever read.

Oh no how would the new women’s coach work with Geno in the building.

Too bad he won’t leave his comfort zone.

Not shocking someone so vocally arrogant is looking to shy away from a challenge where they might get exposed.

Don’t throw in the towel just yet.

No. KO would never get to that point because he doesn’t have the chops to run a program. You act like Geno snapped his fingers one day and he started getting the best players to come. The guy might be the best basketball coach walking the earth today. You don’t think his pedigree would land 5 star men here?

No, I don’t think he would necessarily recruit well. Different relationships and different assessment. Also, the men and women games are different. Sure, much of the Xs and Os translate, but the games are different.

Geno is a terrific coach, but the assumption that his success with our lady’s would automatically translate into success with the guys is a huge leap.
 
you do realize that the womens team is so dominant because the competition maybe just isn't the same as the mens????

He's learned some tact through the years but about 10 years ago, he said he would have no patience with the shoe companies, agents, posses and, especially, kids that required a lot of recruiting only to leave in a year. He said "recruiting is ten times harder" and that coaching men would probably kill him.

Are you implying that statement lacks tact? I think it’s completely legitimate and, given the massive FBI uncovering, shockingly prophetic

Too bad - but a lot of people are big fish small pond types. Shame that none of the opportunities ever appealed to him - perhaps the persona is false bravado to some degree.

In Geno's thirty years here, he has 6 high school players or the year play for him. That is at least 20 less then most people think.
People really shouldn't comment on teams they don't watch.

This is the Internet. People comment on things they haven’t heard about let alone things they don’t watch

I don't.

Still he does, as JC has noted, have a great basketball mind. It would be interesting to see what he did. It wouldn't look like the woman's team, but I have confidence that he'd figure something out.

That said was is a clear career killer for AD Dave, wiping out both basketball programs in one fell swoop. That is what you'd risk by moving Geno to MBB.

I think it’s foolish to think he wouldn’t be successful. Of course he wouldn’t replicate what he’s been able to do in the women’s game but if he accomplishes 20% of what he’s done there who wouldn’t sign for that?

Don’t worry about AD David Benedict. Parker Search Firm will take care of him after he funneled $75k of taxpayer dollars their way.

He used a lot more adjectives than I quoted, not all of them printable.

He was on the verge of taking a men's coaching job, believe it was Penn State, but his daughter talked him out of it. He didn't want to uproot his family while the children were still in school. Geno values family over everything.

I’m serious. I want him to take the job.

Of course there is risk but it would be awesome.
