How good would Wooden have been at another program?

I know its blasphemy, but Wooden had all the talent in the world. Same with Geno. He started when there were very few programs around and had his pick of the talent. Even to this day he gets the pick of the litter. He is no doubt a great coach, but he also benefited greatly from starting at the right time. Coach K is a good example of this as well. If Coach K had started coaching 20 years later, he wouldn't be Coach K because he would have gotten fired in today's climate, but because it was the 80's he was able to ride out a few rough patches.

Geno's the man. How and where would he fit into men's bball? ** -- BadgerBuff 03/29/2021 10:55PM

Fine if he gets top recruiting class. ** -- 241Volcano 03/30/2021 1:15PM

Hard to say -- CUKev 03/30/2021 09:51AM

He'd be great there too. Program builder, recruiter, leadership, Xs&Os ** -- WinningLeadership 03/30/2021 06:16AM

It would depend on what program -- bufffantheman 03/30/2021 11:00AM

Someone has to recruit that talent. Geno keeps bringing in elite talent. -- WinningLeadership 03/30/2021 11:54AM

Geno is the greatest women's cbb coach ever -- CUKev 03/30/2021 4:03PM

Recruiting in the men's game is so different -- bufffantheman 03/30/2021 12:01PM

I might respectfully disagree with you on this, at least a little -- WinningLeadership 03/30/2021 12:05PM
