Geno = GOAT.

He is Wooden in the modern era (and frankly WBB is at the stage where MBB was when Wooden was dominating.

 

[The Q]

I have a question. If Geno is so damn great a basketball coach, why then not coach the men where he can make substantially more money? Why hasn't Georgia Tech been after him? UNLV?

He's gotten offers to be an NBA Assistant...I haven't heard much on the MBB side.

Can't be any worse than the old lady I just saw on Cops... It was an older episode but she called the cops because kids were playing on the road with a hoop. She kept on saying, "they are on my property" the Cops like, um... it's on the public road way, it belongs to the county.

The commercials pumping it up were better than the game.

Also.

It's absolutely brutal watching a women's team trying to mount a furious comeback in the last few minutes.

It's interesting, the women can take shots that would get swatted into the upper deck in the mens game.

but honestly, the Spurs play a lot like the women's game (with more above the rim stuff obviously)...whcih explains why no one like the Spurs (besides their tanktastic effort in 96-97 that makes Hinkie's 76ers blush).

 

[The Q]

Just gonna throw this out there....

UConn won this game hitting all of 5 shots outside the paint.

That won't happen again.

I thought ND was "big" too

They are.

Turner is one of the best post players in the entire country.

no, I just meant, they are big, you would think uconn wouldn't be able to get so many points in the paint

UConn wasn't running traditional post up sets for the most part.

A lot of cutting. Some dribble drive. A few rebounding chances. etc.

But it was really about floor spacing. The way the NBA has changed, they play it more like the women's game. Just with much better athletes.

It is pretty funny how women's basketball there is Uconn.... Possibly ND and then.............. basically nothing, unlike the mens game

Teams have had nice runs. Tennessee had an amazing run for a while.

Baylor is still quite good.

But Geno has a system that works.

Bottom line is there just isn't the same amount of talent available as the mens game.

I know. I still find it funny. I mean I've helped my buddy recruit in the High School level for a college team he used to coach for and the talent was there... (women's team)

Yeah, you just don't see the same amount of talent being spread out, nor do you see the late bloomers (Shabazz Napier's) of the world going from 3 star guys to POY candidates in the women's game. The best players tend to be the best players on the recruiting trail at what seems like a much higher rate than the men.
