Q: [I]What were they teaching her at Duke for 2 years? [/I]
A: I don't think Duke is unique in this regard from most other  schools and the answer is what really separates UCONN from every other program.  When Duke and most other schools get a player of Azura's caliber they are very content with what they have and the proceed to milk it for four years. Expanding the players game is as foreign a concept as the  idea that some players can actually impact the game on defense.  You don't see expansion of a players game at most other schools.  If you don't see expansion of a players game at UCONN that player will be relegated to the bench.    
Azura was a very gifted player at Duke and she became a featured player almost by default.    
Q:[I]What were we teaching her in her sit down year at UConn?[/I]
A:With the schedule that UCONN played last year and the youth of the roster the expansion of Azura's game was not as high a priority.  Last year Geno could and probably did yell at Azura in practice but Geno could not yell at Azura in a game situation and this is where it matters the most and learning  becomes mandatory.   
Q:[I]If she takes to all this "new stuff", how good can she get?[/I]
A: Huskies Wall of Honor good.
