Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4334634, member: 11664"] IMHO Amari's problem is not with her effort, but rather her ability and level of talent. If she needs to develop more of her talent, then that's for the staff to help her with. But some players can expend all of the effort in the world and if their not ability is up to UConn standards, then it shouldn't be blamed on effort. Effort alone cannot turn someone in a gold medalist. A person can reach their personal best, but that doesn't mean that they will ever be fast or quick enough to satisfy Geno or to win a NC. Yet some folks seem to want to blame Amari's shortcomings on her effort. That's not fair to her and I don't think that even Geno can rightfully blame everything on her effort. Even though Geno may not blame everything on her effort, it seems that some people here routinely do or insinuate as if they know how much effort she actually expends. That would seem to make such a claim to be an unfair & hasty generalization. Just like UConn in the NC game, just because they didn't win & score enough points didn't mean that they didn't put in enough effort. It means that came up short on talent that day for whatever the reasons were. [/QUOTE]
