You could make a case she is the best coach of all time in any sport. She could have coached chess teams and won and probably been a great NBA coach.

She was women's basketball plain and simple and there will never be a better coach. Tough loss for the sport.

No you couldn't, not even close.
No, she wouldn't.

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.

You seem so sure about this. If he said the same thing about a male coach, you would probably say "It's a shame they didn't even try to coach in the NBA"

The reason you're so confident with your opinion is solely based on the fact she was (RIP) a woman. We have no idea how she would have done. Not me, not you.

Idk. Phil Jackson is one of the Goats, but there's no guarantee he would have the same all time success in the WNBA. A good coach is a good coach, regardless of gender.

EDIT*

Largly due to different talent pool, lack of parity, etc.

Your effing high. 8 titles and a winning percentage of .840 put her in the conversation against any coach in any sport.

Couldn't coach in the NBA and win? Bullshit.

It is fair to point out though she dominated a sport with very little depth in terms of good teams or with schools that were invested in women's basketball during a significant part of her tenure at Tennessee.

She was a big fish in a very small pond.

I think this is true... but she created that program. It isn't like she walked into a place with a ton of resources. It ended up that way because of her. I'm not sure what else you could compare it to.
