Geno Will not Retire

[Icebear]

IMO, Geno will retire after #9...the best in the biz...going out on top. I can see him coaching USA basketball, playing a lot of golf, doing wine tastings & bouncing Grandkids on his knee. He will be relevant & outspoken long past retirement.

I noted previously that if Geno were to retire earlier than later it would be when he tied John Wooden with 10. Geno would love to be remembered together with Wooden.

Well, if he wins #9 this year, he still has 4 years left on his contract and he just recruited a wonderful 4 player class to teach.

He will stick it out until the contract has one year left. Then he will see how he feels at that time. If he is up to it and wants to continue, UConn will sign him to another 3-5 years.

Just like the last time.

He gets Wilson and wins 9-10-11-12
Then it will be time to go.
Nothing more to prove.
Give someone else a chance.

I actually think Geno is old school and when he signs a contract it is his bond and unless something major happened in his life he will not retire before fulfilling that commitment. So including this year, I think 5 years is the minimum he will remain as coach. And I think it is quite possible that he would extend at that time but likely not for another 5 years - 2 or 3 being more likely. And he could extend that as well.

When the time comes, it will be either Jen or Shea. I don't see how it could be otherwise, and Geno will have no say about who follows him. There is no way he would choose between Jen or Shea.

Successful coaches don't retire without a good reason such as health, especially basketball coaches. There are dozens of examples.

Yeah ... but Geno isn't like anybody else!!

When my husband talked of retiring I told him I took him for better or worse but not for lunch.

I keep hearing the coaches don't read the board but I do know some of the people in the athletic dept do so here goes.

With our current roster and with Kia Nurse saying she will play for us and with rumors (which are usually True Blue) that Aja Wilson, Katie Lou Samuelson and Asia Durr have UConn at the top of their list and with the Philly Belles group of Danielle Patterson 6'3 Claire Moriarity 6'2 and Espinoza-Hunter 5'9 all want to play for UConn and these 3 are only hs freshman...well Geno is going to be coaching in a rocking chair. LOL

Really aint this something. If Geno wants to retire I will take his job. I could probably coach these kids and go 195-0

As good as UConn is now, We're only going to get better. Ain't that somthin

Go Huskies
