In 1985 Geno and CD were washing uniforms and driving the bus? Pat had already been on the ground working for change by then so you would have to show me where he was driving the bus and washing uniforms. Not saying it didn’t happen but it seems highly unlikely
I think you’re taking this as an attack on what Geno has done... nope! It’s not but Pat was crucial in getting the women’s games more exposure. She took her teams into any gym ,including UConn’s, and played them to help spread the women’s game.
Pat didn’t establish her first three championships AFTER 95 lol she already had WORKED her way up and had three national championships by then.
The poster/article was talking about how Geno is not bothered by admin and can run his practices how he sees fit and if something was to come up the doors are shut and Geno gets free reign. I don’t know if that’s true however I do know Pat always had admin in her practices and she had open practices all the time. It was nothing for Joan Cronan or anybody from admin to pop in at any point to just come and be around the team.
Pat and Geno were different we can agree (very different lol) both were successful. I don’t feel the need to put him down to prove her worth to the game because it’s so well noted and documented. So what she has done for the game (and still continues to do with her foundations and the coverage she was able to help drum up for the women’s game) does not put a dull on what Geno (or CD who always reminds me of the lady off the little shop of horrors “oh Seymour”) has done in winning band helping take it to a new level.
