Why, thank God? This is going to give SC a recruiting edge.
The pressure to replace Geno came after the whole world was against him dropping Candace Parker eg, ESPN,Australian National Team coach, Thousands writing petition etc.
That is not correct at all. His decision was made prior to the 2016 roster even being picked. He actually stated several times he would have been happy being done after the 2012 Olympics. His former players were the real catalyst for him to be on for the 2016 Olympics, in that his former greats expected 2016 to be their last Olympic year.
Working with USA basketball you have to sacrifice a lot and with all that travel the move to a younger coach is wise. I can't wait to see what they look like in 2020 with a lot of the all time greats getting older and likely retiring around that time.
This is odd. I was just reading here on volnation last night that Dawn Staley was the most overrated college coach ever.:loco:rock:
Although what Genno did was an unnessary slap in the face of one of the all time best women basketball players to play the game, he had announced prior that this was his last go around. Chosing Stewie and not choosing Parker is the most outrageous thinks I have ever seen. :crazy:
