Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 4076826, member: 7548"] I found this quote in this article which I think is new in this article [URL='https://www.theday.com/uconn-sports/20211019/uconn-women-no-1-in-big-east-poll-bueckers-fudd-also-honored']The Day - UConn women No. 1 in Big East poll; Bueckers, Fudd also honored - News from southeastern Connecticut[/URL] UConn coach Geno Auriemma calls Bueckers and Fudd, both national players of the year as high school seniors, "reluctant stars." Auriemma said Fudd, known for her precision as a shooter, has the same tendency to pass up an open shot the way Bueckers did last year, with him having to constantly remind her. "Just the reluctance to take advantage of every time because they're open all the time," Auriemma said. "So that means that I would want them to shoot it all the time and that's not what they want to do." [B]Paige's advice to Azzi[/B] "Don't be afraid to mess up," said Bueckers, who went on to win national player of the year honors a year ago as UConn reached the Final Four for the unprecedented 13th straight season. "Coach is always going to be mad; he's always going to be yelling about something. "So it's better to take risks. Try. Mess up. He's going to yell. Just brush it off. Just keep trying." [/QUOTE]
