Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 4527499, member: 8636"] The last three years with UConn WCBB has been nothing short of brilliance. Geno has navigated through Covid and two injury prone seasons like few in the history of coaching could have done. What a steady hand. I remember watching his zoom pressers during Covid and how he was able to keep the famed program on track. He's had the same kind of attitude during these injury plagued seasons, "we'll play and play our best with whoever shows up..." Equally deftly, he allows his players to assume leadership responsibilities, which further strengthens the resolve of the team. Having said all that, I still think it's fair to do some "Monday morning quarterbacking". After all it is a blog about UConn WCBB. I think it's fair to talk about Geno retiring. I'm a teacher getting close to the end. It gets harder. I wake up sometimes and think that I'm not sure that I want to keep doing this. The T yesterday was tough to watch. You work the refs hard when they have the ball. Except for BK, I've never seen a coach throw something on the floor. And finally, IMO we can't beat these tall, athletic teams by packing it in. You've got to force their bigs to move away from the hoop. The only way to do that is with pressure out front and denial of the wings and fronting the post. Maybe in April (hopefully), he'll pull that out of his hat. [/QUOTE]
