Yes, all due respect. And you're right, it's nice to eulogize someone.

But you can't compare apples and oranges.
College women's hoops is a very small talent pool. There are only 5-7 good teams and 1-2 teams dominate the recruiting and blow opponents out for years on end.
Calling her the greatest college coach of any sport ever is so over the top I can't even. Dan Gable is way ahead of her along with so many others it's not worth listing.

And thinking being able to coach women's college could in any way equate to being able to coach ****ing NBA, the greatest hoops league in the world, is plain dumb.
