You would never answer my question as to why Geno said Patterson might be back by March. As it turns out, it was a legit question and UConn wasn't being honest about AP's health. But you kept hammering at me, pretending I was an idiot for asking.

Or they didn’t know then.

Geezus. The only question was by people who misheard him. He said Yanna, not Jana. But you can’t accept that. The only people who thought he might be talking about Jana simply didn’t hear him correctly. Your question was totally based on that and sorry if you felt being hammered about a question that always related to Yanna, never Jana. Peace.

It wasn’t even that. The whole premise of the question was based on the OP which was because the poster misheard the name. And if I recall, Geno didn’t say by any particular date, only later in the season. SIUconn is pissed at me because I answered on who Geno was actually talking about. The news about Yanna today is not a “wow, he wasn’t talking about Jana”., because he was never talking about Jana. Neverneverland.

This isn't the place for this, but your claim is inaccurate. I specifically asked why Geno would be talking about Patterson being back by March. You kept beating a straw man to death.

Nope. The thread is not hard to find. And you even claimed--wrongly--that Geno was saying Patterson might not be ready for the front court rotation, not that she wouldn't be back.

Jana back for the tournament?

If I misunderstood him that's on the way he phrased it. He specifically said if they get _____back by March. If Patterson is coming back in the next week then why would we think he's referring to her in this instance? Well Geno has been know to use ...Sarcasm

Well they knew something because Geno said, "If we get 'Yanna' back by March." Originally I thought he might be talking about Jana El Alfy because it made no sense for Patterson to be questionable until March based on reports and Geno's own words. But obviously it would've made little sense for El Alfy to return either. So I wondered what he was talking about. I was informed I didn't use logic for asking this question. Turns out, it was a pretty good question.

Seriously. Ask him. He was talking about Patterson. So how would anyone be able to answer you other than the way I did because your question, whether you know it or not, implies he might not have been talking about Patterson. And I told you he was talking about Patterson. And I see you are jumping to the conclusion he wasn’t being honest, which, and I don’t mean to be snarky, is a conclusion based on an assumption that he knew then what he just revealed. You have to accept that when he made the original statement he probably was hoping she would improve enough to play

On top of that, any chance he was ever talking about Jana playing this year is about zero. Not only had they said she would miss the season, but even if she had a faster heal than expected, if she is as good as hoped, he would not have blown a full season of eligibility by using her in a few season ending games plus tournament games and her minutes would have had to be limited. Good night.

Yes, we know for sure now he was talking about Patterson. And at the time I asked why would he be talking about Patterson being out until March when all reports were she would be back by opening night, and you kept responding to that in a huff about El Alfy even though I wasn't talking about El Alfy.

As for jumping to conclusions,....

If Geno indicated it was up in the air whether Patterson would return by March in that interview, then his previous comments and that of the program's were misleading. She can't both be ready by opening night and maybe not ready before March.

He didn’t say March. He said late in the season . And if you expect me or anyone to read his mind, good luck. What was the point of asking anyone but him if you actually understood him to be talking about Yanna? And your assumption, which is what it is, that they were intentionally misleading the world is a great conspiracy theory which leads me to ask you what was in it for him to mislead anyone.? There is at least the real possibility that he was going on the conclusion of medical and training staff at the time. Feel free to continue a rather pointless discussion, but i’m done.

Actually, he said neither now that I triple check. He said "If we get Yanna back." No qualifier there. That's even worse than by March. He said if we get her back.

Other than that throw-away line at the end of that interview, neither he nor the program ever said her situation was dire or that she might not be back, but they obviously knew otherwise.

You're speaking for me yet again. I said his comments and the reports by the team were misleading, and they clearly were.

I know I’m impressed by the question.
