Message: [QUOTE="Wessex, post: 4912313, member: 9617"] No pics, but plenty of quips: [LIST] [*]When Paige was invited to the stage to roast Geno, he gestured to her outfit and said something like "Look at this." (Paige was dressed like a respectable, with-it college student, which right now means baggy pants.) Geno again: "Hey Mitchells"—the place for designers like Valentino and Saint Laurent and Jimmy Choo—"can you help with this?" [*]Paige to Geno: [I]You say that in nearly forty years of coaching, you've seen it all. You also say, when we do something stupid, that in nearly forty years you've never seen anything so stupid[/I]. She wanted to know which it was, or how it could be both. Geno said that after they do something unprecedentedly stupid, he can say he's seen it all—until the next stupid thing they do. "So as usual, I'm right." [*]Before and after warmly commending Ice, Geno said that up until the tournament, there was endless talk about why he had recruited her...wasn't she supposed to be great...what had he been thinking.... "And all of those comments came from me." [*]After responding to a request from an attendee to talk about his viral riff on body language, Geno mentioned that he says to pouters, "Pout some more. Maybe I'll put you in." [*]I don't want to attempt to quote him on this, but Geno was splendid when discussing the new NIL realities. He's always been very good at recruiting the women who have the right attitude towards basketball, being coached, being a teammate. It's clear that now he's also good at drawing players who have the right attitude toward money, brands, hoopla—i.e., the external rewards at UConn are incredible, but that's not why UConn women commit to the school.
