Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 4701053, member: 6485"] I recall many years ago Dean Smith announced his retirement in Fall 1997 after making the FF during the previous year with a ton of talent coming back. Smith had previously said he wouldn't make his decision when he was tired at the end of a season, but if he didn't feel it when it was time to start major preparations again he would know it was time. That's what happened with him and Guthridge took over for a few years. I truly could see Geno doing the same thing. A few times last year I thought Geno looked tired, which anyone would after the insanity the team lived under last season. I also know he lost his mother and had some health issues. Just like professional athletes, I don't like to see any coach go on past their time either. There have been many coaches over the years where I couldn't understand why they didn't move into a different role in life but those coaches were usually slipping in on the court results, recruiting and fan support. UConn is still doing very well in all those areas. I think this year will be very telling. A healthy UConn team could win a NC or be there at the end of the tournament and give him another wind.
