Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 2437793, member: 250"] The Question arises from this little soliloquy of Geno's : “I guess I’m old-fashioned when I come to that,” Auriemma said. “I think the players should play to their stature. When you’re 6-5, 6-6 and all you want to do is stand there and shoot 3s, you’re not a basketball player; you’re a guy who just likes to shoot the basketball. That first quarter I wasn’t too thrilled and got her to be more aggressive; she was a lot better in the second quarter and in the second half because we got her moving. she went to the offensive glass, she did things that basketball players do. A lot of the stuff is brand new to her. She’s used to standing in one spot; we’re trying to get her to move and that’s not natural. Those guys were pretty big out there, and she had a pretty good day.” (you can see him say it too here: [URL="http://www.nhregister.com/sports/article/Stevens-stars-as-UConn-rolls-to-victory-in-PK80-12383437.php"]Stevens stars as UConn rolls to victory in PK80 event[/URL]) The question is actually a 2 parter. What were they teaching her at Duke for 2 years? What were we teaching her in her sit down year at UConn? I guess it is so starkly surprising to me. When he says: "A lot of this stuff is brand new to her." Well, I'm just amazed. Then the question: If she takes to all this "new stuff", how good can she get? [/QUOTE]
