Why Geno outdid Pat.

[gule]

#1. He had a better offense.

 

[gule]

#2 player recruitment.

 

[gule]

#3 moxie! Look it up.

 

[n_huffhines]

But you gave him the attention he was seeking. At least he had to post three times before someone responded.

He's definitely outdone Pat because she went way too soon, but let's look at the time that their tenures overlapped...1985-2012. Geno won 7 national titles, Summit won 8.

Why Pat outdid Geno in one word:

INTEGRITY

Coach, please don't ask our friend gule to go jump in the lake....He may do it.

Silly season is upon us!

Geno teaches O and D equally where Pat put her emphasis on D mostly. And it shows with our current and previous coach.

#1. He had a better offense.

yes...he is very offensive!

Exactly. Without the Alzheimer's diagnosis, does anyone think that Pat was done winning national championships? It's anyone's guess... but I sure don't think so.

 

[Coach Jumper]

funny how a thread is started for Pat and it becomes Geno land,,,and then a thread is started for Geno and it becomes pat land

She might not have been completely done winning championships, but the sport was becoming more competitive and Geno really started to go on a roll in 2008 where his UConn teams were simply more dominant than Pat's (and everyone else's). I think it is likely that if Pat was still around and coaching with no health issues, Geno probably would have still passed her, but who knows.

Then Jen Rizzotti should have a couple of National Championships by now.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Geno did not outdo Pat nor will he in the future. Ask the question Greatest Woman's College Basketball Coach and the first name that comes to mind is Coach Pat Head Summit and not anybody else. He is not in the same league with her and will always be 2nd or 3rd which is very unfortunate for you. Everybody knows CPHS and will list her over What's his name 9 out of 10 times.

No body is going to soil her memory to us....Forget about it.
