I am a UConn fan. I kind of anticipated this grumbling. I am raising a few points. I do not have the answers.

1. Should National coaches be limited to 1 term? Geno and Coach K had long tenures.
2. In soccer many countries have a national coach. He is an experienced professional coach. Usually, he is promoted and no longer coaches a professional team. Can we have such a position in women's basketball?
3. USABL clearly wants team oriented basketball. How many college coaches have implemented it? How many have shown innovation and ability to move the game forward? If there is a dearth of good coaches, USABL will be disappointed.
4. In soccer, many nations put their teams thru a long training camp and the national coach/committee can make a good selection. We do not have that luxury. What can we do instead?

I believe it is essential to tackle these issues before the team selection can be addressed. Auriemma has his coaching duties. He does not have the time to coach team basketball. Neither do the WNBA players have time to learn it.
