It seems like when Calhoun retires/resigns or however hes going to go about this season, they are going to have to replace him with someone who can keep the program affloat.

Some think it may be Geno Auriemma, the UConn women's coach.

Are you serious?

I've wondered this myself if a Womens coach could or would want to make the switch over to coaching Men.

Coaching basketball doesnt change, its the same game in both sports but relating to the players would definetly have to be changed.

They could buy John Calipari.

Nope. Kentucky is where he wants to be. I heard it straight from his mouth!

Good question. I wonder what domino situation could cause us to lose Pastner. I really only believe there's a few that can get him away with all the momentum he's built. Arizona is 1, 2, and 3 on that list of five. If he does really well here for two-three years, and Calhoun sticks around, would he go to Storrs?

Sean Miller will be at Arizona for a long time. I doubt he would go to Pitt now. I don't see Pastner at UCONN. I think we are getting a little ahead of ourselves. Josh has not been a head coach in a NCAA game as of today.

Notice I said if he did really well for the first 2-3 years. People had the same notions about Calipari. Just asking the question.

I don't much know much about the UCONN basketball program, but what did they do before Calhoun came to UCONN. Before the current coach came their, UCONN wasn't even a national power. You got Hartford and New York City within a hour for a plane flight, but isn't that a place you have to recruit nationally because of the lack of talent in that area? I would think that would be a tough place to get an established coach, only in my humble opinion a young and upcoming coach would want to work their.

The same was said about Arizona. They picked up one of the best in the business. Don't act like a HOF coach didn't build a great program. What about Duke? Syracuse? Indiana? UCLA?

They all had (have) that one coach that left a lasting legacy. One reason we all thought Calipari would stay is we wanted him to be that guy for us.

I'm just playing devil's advocate anyway.

Duke has the Durham-Raleigh area to recruit, plus it is known as one of the best academic schools in the United States. Syracuse has New York City and probably recruits along with UCONN for the same type of recruits, I guess I shoud have known that the University of Connecticut recruited internationally with Thabeet. I did not know they recruited in Maryland, pardon me for my mistake. Indiana has the state of Indiana and Midwest recruits along with the city of Indianapolis, along with warmer weather climates, it is not so much more of an advantage that it used to be. If you are from Souithern California or anywhere not warm along with the social life and activities, wouldn't you be at least interested to hear from UCLA?

That's not the point I was making. I was referring to the point that "UConn didn't have any history before Calhoun." Well, it only takes one HOF coach to build that legacy. What I'm saying is that UConn, like Arizona this year, will be able to go get a good young coach because of what the previous coach has built.

Let's see if UCONN wants to pay the going rate for a good coach after Calhoun resigns/retires to keep the program rolling and successful. That will tell you more what the university president and athletic director. That will tell you if the school wants to keep its legacy. With it being in the Big East and competiveness of schools in their league, I feel UCONN will do what it takes to continue their legacy.

A serious question about UConn basketball before Calhoun, Did they completely remove it from the History Books?

I've seen several sites where there is a huge gap between 1975-1986 that I have no clue about.

Syracuse doesnt recruit NYC at all, they have a good local talent of players in upstate NY and they recruit have recruited Maryland well.

Uconn recruits NYC better, espescially with St.Johns down they have had success getting kids to basically stay nearby but if you look at their players they recruit internationally as well espescially Africa.

Just the problem replacing Calhoun will be tough because hes bigger than the university, Great coach, Very personable, & is his own brand as a HC.When you're going to UConn, you're going to play for Calhoun not the UConn Huskies.

I think he has about 12 players in the NBA currently, with Thabeet and Price expected to make #13 and #14.

They cant really keep it in the family, because Hobbs nor Moore have been overly impressive as HC's worthy of a promotion.

I dont think we have a chance at losing Pastner to UConn though.

I think Pastner would need two or three good years here at Memphis, before a big six conference would consider him as their Head Basketball Coach (minus Arizona if the new Head Coach they hired doesn't work out for them, naturally).

I dont think hes leaving Memphis at any time other than Arizona, if hes successful we can pay him more than any other school has offered.
