Not to change the direction of this thread but I certainly agree that the average or even good Women's coach may not do well with men's. But do you seriously think that Geno could not even be AVERAGE in men's? You have to be joking!

Coaches like Geno Auriemma would fare average in men's basketball.

Coaches like Pat Summit wouldn't have a chance. Why? Unfortunately, the answer is because she is a woman. The cold, hard truth is that young male athletes do no respect a woman figure enough to listen to what she has to say or follow a her guidelines, orders, etc. as a coach. The intimidation of a coach can sometimes earn the respect of athletes and let's face it: a male coaching figure is more intimidating than a woman coaching figure.

Let's not take what I say out of proportion now because I think Coach Summit is one of the greatest coaches of all time in the college game. It's just the simple fact that she is a woman is what would keep her from excelling in the men's game and I think she herself even knows that.

That's not the complete argument but that is the core of it.
