What an outstanding feat accomplished by the U. of Connecticut women's basketball program winning 89 straight games led by Coach Geno Auriemma. As we know that toppled the great record held by the UCLA Bruins Men's Basketball Program of 88 consecutive victories. I do not care what level you are competing on or whether it be any men's or women's sport, it is hard to win 89 straight contests. Coach Auriemma not only can coach but he and his staff are phenomenal recruiters. This streak may go on to more than 100+ games. Truly a remarkable accomplishment. But let's go to the next chapter of Geno Auriemma's basketball future. I know this may cause some heated discussions, but yours truly thinks Geno Auriemma needs to test the waters of a Collegiate Men's Basketball Program. He can hardly accomplish any more in the women's game. Before Auriemma got to UConn, the women's program had 1 winning season. Now He has 7 national championships just one shy of Tennessee Vols Coach Pat Summitt. He may look to surpass Summit in the next few seasons. But I think he needs to flip to the Men's side with the potential of doing the same thing with a Men's Program. He is an outstanding technician, he can really recruit, and his players play with great intensity. He would get hired in a New York minute by some school that Men's program has been struggling. Auriemma is not that old and he has great enthusiasm. Coach Geno Auriemma should test the waters in a NCAA men's Basketball Program. If I was a betting man, I say he will not.
