Message: [QUOTE="VillageHusky, post: 2569777, member: 6636"] My recollection is that order was as follows: 10. Moriah Jefferson 9. Kerry Bascom 8. Nykesha Sales 7. Jen Rizzotti 6. Tina Charles 5. Rebecca Lobo 4. Sue Bird 3. Maya Moore 2. Breanna Stewart 1. Diana Taurasi I believe others have written in different threads their objections to the numbering and inclusion of certain individuals on the list. Of course, listing the 10 best UConn women basketball players in chronological order is a very difficult and inherently subjective exercise. From his reactions during the program (the broadcast I saw eliminated his reaction to Tina Charles being listed as no. 6), I did not get the sense that Geno Auriemma objected to any individual's inclusion or specific ranking. In my view, however, if the "10 best UConn women basketball players" is reserved to measuring the play and importance of individual players solely during their time at UConn, I believe Tina Charles should be higher than no. 6. In addition, I think awarding 3 of the top 10 spots to members of the first national championship team may be 1 spot too many. Last, although I believe Geno agrees that Diana Taurasi should be no. 1, I was struck more as a fan by Maya Moore and Breanna Stewart in terms of their impact and spectacle of play while at UConn. I recognize this last observation in particular may draw strong negative reaction. But then again it's only my opinion and certainly not a fact. [/QUOTE]
