Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2960463, member: 7492"] As I watch my fellow BYers stick to some pedantic arguments, let’s reset for the sake of the thread: 1. Carla Berube is one of the top 3 Division 3 Coaches 2. She has built Tufts into a national power and loves coaching at the school 3. She has been recognized as a top coach by USA Basketball and has awarded her coaching opportunities 4. Many other “as successful” coaches in D2 and D3 have made the move to D1 without the preeminent success needed to be a coach at a program like UConn. Have coaches who moved up been successful in D1, yes but NONE at the level of a top 10, 20 or 30 program in the county would require. 5. Stating absolutes like “she’s forgotten more..” is so utterly silly as no one knows the depth or lack of depth other coaches know or what Carla did know at one point. It’s a point that is stated when virtually the whole board would agree with and in this instance, no way the whole board agrees. 6. The real issue at D1 is recruiting. Just see some great coaches who lack recruits to win it all- Bruno, Rueck, Schaefer et al have not won one title, let alone multiple that the expectations UConn will want. Yes, I know Vic and Scott MAY win one some day... [/QUOTE]
