Message: [QUOTE="PoppyHart, post: 1649457, member: 515"] UCONN has been going strong for 30 years now. This isn't Baylor we're talking about. And the numbers don't lie. While there are other differentiators (like National Championships), I would put Louisville, Michigan State, Zona ahead of us at the "program" level based on the fact that they have shown they that the program is resilient through head coaching changes. Louisville: No-brainer with Crum and Pitino MSU: Heathcote wasn't special, but the Magic years make up for a lot, and since 1996 under Izzo they've been empirically better to any impartial observer. Zona: Sean Miller, while without a FF, has certainly restored the program to the national relevance that Olsen had. We don't know yet if we are a "program" or just a placeholder on this list due to one unique and excellent coach. [/QUOTE]
