-- their coaching was better than ours, although I deeply admire Tara as a coach and a wonderful human being.  

What?! How dare you question Tara the Great! It's a Stanford truism that she's a "great" coach. News flash: she's ok. Not terrible, not great. Put another way: great recruiter (in the women's game, how much of that is her versus the university though?), meh coach. The overall record is of course really good, but how many more national titles do we have if Geno is our coach during these last decades. I think a bunch. I was saying all week that I thought we'd lose to UConn because the gap between Geno and Tara is so big. Ok, I'll leave before I get tarred and feathered...

I'd rather 3 national titles in 30 years with Tara than 12 with Geno. Dead serious.

Totally agree.

As for coaching abilities, let's put it another way. Say that 10 years ago, Geno and Tara were forced to switch jobs. Tara coaches the Huskies, and Geno the Cardinal. Same admission requirements as usual, same support. Who do you think is going to come out with more wins, more championships? There is no freakin' way Geno could find success at Stanford.
