Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3802844, member: 7492"] I have always felt “hypotheses” like what you and [USER=2117]@bballnut90[/USER] propose were flawed from the start as your supposition cannot account for evolution, increased competitiveness and of the unfortunate decline of health that did occur. Pat averaged 30.8 wins her last 12 years (sorry BBall but if you want to cherrypick, let me expand your time horizon). Her offensive strategy was limited to say the least as the game evolved heavily in that offensive direction and is why offensive coaches like Muffet and Kim Mulkey thrived. Also, Tara embraced the 3 point game and shot that Pat struggled with. Add in the deeper talent being distributed among more teams and more money input into more programs and I am dubious how any “probable hypothesis” could be made. What is known is how superior Geno’s winning percentage is to Pat’s in a higher competitive environment. Which is why I think Micki DeMoss’s comment was done as a comment by Pat as “tongue in cheek” not a serious one. Pat was the trail blazer the drive this sport to the position it now stands, just like Washington was the standard bearer for all Presidents who followed. To that, huge Kudos to Pat Summit. Other than that though, I cannot subscribe to your supposition. [/QUOTE]
