Message: [QUOTE="VA Huskie, post: 3085384, member: 5703"] Well, if you want to go into Debbie Ryan’s amazing story, consider this: Not only did Geno work for her, but UConn’s first trip to the Final Four was in 1991. The other 3 teams were Tennessee, Stanford and UVA. UVA beat UConn in the semis and lost to Tennessee in the finals. Tonya Cardoza scored 16 points against us. Dawn Staley ended up becoming the only person to win tournament MOP who didn’t play for the national champion. Dawn ended up as coach of Temple and Tonya became a UConn assistant. Later, Dawn was replaced by Tonya after she left for SC. Boy, if that’s not “basketball nepotism”, I don’t know what is. Anyway, Debbie looked great and thrives to this day. She’s left quite a legacy... [/QUOTE]
