I agree with the bolded. Good points.
However, I'm still not convinced that he would succeed at the mens level.
First of all recruiting, who does he have to go against for these big recruits? Summit and that's pretty much it. If he coached at the mens level he'd have to go up against Coach K, Cal, Ricky P, Bill Self, and so on. What's his pitch going to be? Well I coached womens bball for 20 odd years and that experience there will help you get to the NBA!
Also the big money is in coaching the mens game, not the womens. Why not make the jump if he's THAT great of a coach.
I'm just not sold on him or anybody else that trys to make the jump. I'll have to see it before I do believe it.

I can see your point and I'm not saying you're wrong. We probably will never see Auriemma on the sidelines coaching a men's team. Although he did say he might consider a Duke or North Carolina gig if he had the chance.
