Interesting. I wonder if this will take Dee Kantner off the floor? I may be in the minority, but I'd miss her.

Great thread title.

I wonder if June picked her final day for the pun?

Best wishes for a happy retirement June!

We’ll never forget you or the intentional foul you called on Dee at Va Tech in 2002.

If I were her, I would swear I did. Just too darn clever to pass up!

Here is the url for the inphamous phantom phlagrant phoul. Jan 30, 2002 (seems so long ago!!) and the phoul is at 3:10 of the second half.

I believe that was the point at which Sue and Dee looked at each other and said something like, "Ok, if that's the way it's going to be, we'll just win this despite that bull____."

Thanks Zman. For the interested but lazy crowd, here's the two minutes of interest. It was a big moment in that game. Listen to Meghan's last words on the pfowl. "Worse call I've ever seen. That's June Courteau for ya"

It will only if they offer her the coordinator's position and she accepts.

Over all, I liked June, although her calls could be "interesting" at times.

Wish her the best in her retirement.

Thanks for that! (I had to watch the rest of the game to make sure we won)

It was a near thing. I was in the crowd, going nutso!! Neither the UConn players nor the refs seemed able to get much right.

You too saw that bearded guy walking around with the sign Repent: the world ends soon. I guess he just didn't know HOW soon.

Because you did, I watched that game again. I was totally impressed by the superb multiple passing the UConn team did. They also heaved the ball up court (on target) unlike OU who dribbled it up court. Passing is quicker.
Also, as you indicated (my memory said this happened at the very end, it didn't. DT backing down and got Dales to foul out. Uconn was up 11/12 points. No nail biter, but I did. Fun game 17 years later. Sue was just amazing, as was Swin, Asjhia(sp),Tamika, and DT. Saw J.Moore get minute, I think Battle ( feels too early) got minutes too. So at least 7 made it into that NC game. Sheri, hugged each Uconn kid and Geno: that still warms my heart. \ Then I watched the 2000 game, in which Sveta broke up a set play and the game was lost. (that may or may not have lost it, but gave Geno 10 minutes to talk about it)

The Big East Tourney was held at Browne at Rutgers. I sat in a VA section, not by design, and asked them what a Hokie is. Few had an explanation. Digging, apparently in the late 1800 or early 1900's a turkey was their mascot and through some convoluted evolution--a hokie was adopted. Their "Russian" was gooood.

A very pungent post, amigo!

Even Bob Picozzi said it was terrible.

And in Meg’s interview with Geno after the game, I can’t remember him ever speaking that fast...

Thanks for those trips down memory lane!
