Well, teams don't do that anymore like they did 50 years ago. Except of course, in women's basketball, with a program named UCONN.
Fact is, men's basketball has matured to a point that we will likely never again see a program dominate the mens game the way UCLA did back then. And in women's basketball, you are correct; when Geno retires it will be good for the women's game, and UCONN will slip accordingly....just like we did when Leon Barmore retired, and just like Tennessee did when Pat Summit retired.
