Carla the next UCONN HC…

I will take 3rd team, Lou, Nika and Dorka and give the combined 1st and 2nd all the could handle and then some…

Finisher - Diana, Maya, Tiffany, Nykesha, Shea, Gaby, Kalana Greene Initiator - Jen, Stefanie, Jamelle, Jessica, Gaby

This list has inference on perceived team needs. Maddy and Ashley are top 5 easily extremely skilled very high on Basketball IQ scale. But perhaps not what 1st 5 teams picking need, both will stick, CT Sun should work something out to get both. Great players to build with. Dorka placement is...

I was at that game too, it was awful for her, it made it easy to Identify the Dad’s with Daughters, we all responded by immediately standing up when Shea went down screaming. It cut right through everything and initiated a very primal response from the Dad’s. Never experienced anything like...

Inspired with Aaliyah I sense she is going to make another step improvement in her game next season as well, she has more development, we are really just getting a small peek of the player she will eventually be.

Kelly is a reflection of her playing and coaching experiences. We have the finest coaching in WBB, Mens or Womens College Team Sports and quite arguably best of all time in all those categories. Overlaying our expectations of coaching on to a person that has not had the benefit of working in...

It appeared to me on offense the team has been working on passing. This season especially because of the turnovers I believed we just seemed to be a bit slow moving the ball and forcing the other teams to react, with the lineup shuffling in hindsight I should have expected that. It is a small...

Add healthy Azzi to that too…Aaliyah defends well on point guards to post player’s…

Agree on all points, Geno, self admittedly is going soft when Azzi gets back and we are up to 10 players again. I would like to see him go Old School on Nika as he has with previous point guard’s. “Nika, if anyone on the floor makes a mistake it is your fault…” Have her be accountable and...

Nicole Wolff was a Baystater right?

Agree with the NM positive's all aptly expressed. Equally Excited by the opportunities in her game to grow and learn how to run the expanded offense. She excels at executing 1st option, seems like when 1st option is taken away the team resorts to the individual with the ball at the time making...

Nika shooting, “If not now when”… One of Geno’s favorite refrain… ”Game is about putting the ball in the hoop”… Nika did and she needs to continue to even when Azzi is back takes a lot of offensive pressure off her teammates and makes opposing team make unplanned adjustments to their...

My preference no matter the score is to Win or get Beat, not Lose…

Carla Berube, Ann Strother, Kelly Faris 1995 Team NCCA game vs Virginia for me Jamelle Elliot’s Legend was born. Rebecca and Kara on the bench in foul trouble, she single handedly kept them in the game with her rebounding and scoring inside against 3 Virginia players that were all 6” taller...

I would like my piece of the floor signed by my favorite non-wall players: Jamelle Elliot, Carla Berube, Stacy Hansmeyer, Ann Strother, Kelly Faris, Evina Westbrook

History Lesson: ND has a tendency to take our strengths and turn them into weaknesses. Overpassing on the offensive end, helping out on defense will be themes today. Of course 2 ND players will be on fire from 3pt land per usual. They will shoot 30 FT’s to our 8 FT attempts. We will get...

Fan’s that have been around some decades will recall Geno’s desire that UCONN WBB fan’s be WBB fan’s 1st and UCONN fans 2nd. Applaud Excellence no matter what! One of my favorite memories was when Coach called timeout and grabbed the announcer’s microphone at the end of a North Carolina game...

I call it being a Boneyarder…We just can’t help ourselves…LOL

Vickie Bullet another player Liberty should have never traded. How they let Becky Hammon get away…I am old…It hurts to remember…

I always felt she was a Good Coach and Good Fit at Duke…Cant recall why she left in addition to the bigger salary and Texas program offers…was their additional reasons ?

Agree with you on it would be nice but not going to happen. Fully support your intention on this for sure. Uncertainty is on the transition of fan support to WNBA team and it all has to do with League playing in the Summer. The Iowa WBB programs have a lot of synergy going for great Winter WBB...

Yes I was there it was 2014 and an awesome atmosphere at the Pinnacle Arena, I stood in line at ticket window and a guy was walking up and down greeting fans he came to me with my UCONN shirt started talking WBB shocked him a bit when I told him Geno wanted us to WBB fans 1st and UCONN fans 2nd...

1st UCONN Women’s Silent Assassin = Carla Berube

I really liked the Younger Muffett…carried so much respect for her and her coaching ability, thought she exemplified what is great in Coaching… What the heck happened?

Joan Joyce, Met her in 3rd Grade for field day she was assigned to teach our class how to hit. Her sister was our 3rd grade teacher. Her and Brakettes did a 4 players exhibition against 9 men players from Waterbury Brass men’s team. Joan pitched her sister was catcher, shortstop and 2nd...

Sorry I should have wrote the word, I work in manufacturing, pc = piece, pcs = pieces has its own acronyms not always in common usage or can be interpreted in most familiar form by folks outside of mfg. I referred to piece because I think NIL has added a lot of complexity to college sports. It...

Keep in mind the additional pc that erodes coaches ability to hold players accountable…they get a free pass on transferring now… Giving more thought I am wondering if the Rick Pitino coaching approach doesn’t make its way into college football you develop at other school and the roll in to a...

Disagree on your points here…I turned down UCONN Football back in the day to go play D1 Football…which was a mistake on my part…1 injury and your done…Life goes on… My point here is that 1st hand experience showed me and big part of coaching is forging the team… Mutiny does occur your dealing...

Even happens in HS Sports, knocks your stats down for a bit till you figure out you need to improve as a teammate, genuinely acknowledging your teammates is part of the learning curve of team sports.

2011-2013 seasons, 7 of 8 ND won against us was awful to go through as a fan but was great for Women’s Basketball and brought fans and interest to the game Skylar did that…She gets my vote…

Field of Dreams Game was played on a real field and built to perfection by John Deere and it was gorgeous. It was a Perfect Event for folks in Iowa as well as the many, many diehard MLB fans. It was a nod to the olden day’s of baseball were rural communities would come from miles to see the...

In all the discussion of inappropriate and who did what…I forgot the Most physically inappropriate thing I have seen Geno do to a women was slap Kim Mulkey on the butt in front of a National Television Audience before a Baylor game… That left me speechless…Funny as Hell

Clear Dividing Line in comparison’s between Q and Geno - Only can compare the “verbal word selection when addressing players” Old Geno vs Current Q… 28 years following this team… Old Geno went into many cringe worthy diatribes on that sideline directed at his players… Current Geno much less...
