They'll schedule the way they did in the Pac12: fly out Thursday, play a game on Friday, quick trip to another relatively close school, play a Sunday game, back on the plane home in time for Monday classes. If you're playing a 16 game conference schedule, that's 8 road games, so one east coast trip per month in this manner. That's a lot more travel distance wise than before, but it's not the end of the world.
A good guess for Geno would be to remain through the Sarah Strong Era. He will be about 75 when she graduates. Recruiting from noon is going to get iffy.
Geno will have the most wins all-time - probably forever. There is too much parity in the women's game now for anyone to catch him.

I meant to type "wasn't". I don't wish poor health or injury on anyone.
It was a late night typo. Give a little benefit of the doubt. I am not a psycho.
And any coaches that spent a lot of time as assistants before moving up, or playing in the pros before coaching won't have enough years on the job to do it.
It's not about the kids, it's about the money.
“Went portal” — is that the new term for it?
Stewie's last 123 games at Uconn 122-1, the loss at Stanford the second game of the 2014-2015 season.
If he gets number 12 next year with Paige, and she leaves, he might decide to go out on top.
The ACC plays 18 games. Next season, everyone will play everyone else once and one team, their designated rival, twice. Not sure how it will shake out with Stanford but I imagine they'll alternate years with 10 and 8 home games...although with Cal being so close, maybe it will be split up evenly 9 and 9.
I think she was the first to really undertake the modernization of women's basketball by integrating the developments of men's basketball through her interactions with the men's programs early in her career. She was a student of basketball, not just women's basketball and really studied x' and o's from every source of innovation in the game. In that way, Geno was a follower of her more than the other great women's coaches of that time.
I certainly hope they arrange it so Stanford and Cal also a have minimum two game in each swing east and play home and home with each other every year. They could also minimize the travel disruptions by scheduling one of the trips over Christmas break, and one over winter/spring break. They might even squeeze six games into the two breaks in classes.
As was mentioned above, that is the model the PAC followed, traveling partners determined by geography (Arizona, Washington and Oregon school pairs, LA schools, Bay Area schools, and mountain schools). For Stanford and Cal this will probably work.
I apologize.
Not fair. They get paid, and many would do it for free (once or twice), just for the opportunity.
Geno did 2 runs as national team coach. How many should he add?
I think he stays through his new contract. 5yrs?
How many games did he miss?
