And she enjoyed that more. She loved making her teammates better.” He knows pulling Bueckers from a game can lead to drama. “Massive arguments,” said Cosgriff, who coached Bueckers at Hopkins High in Minnetonka, Minn. “Paige always has to have the last word. We’d be up by 40 and my whole thing was, I didn’t want to get her hurt. I didn’t want her injured, and I had 18 kids on the team. I’m like, ‘OK, you’ve got your 25, we’re up by 40, let some other kids play.’ “Oh, she’d give me an earful. Most of the time, I’d just take it — because it’s Paige and that’s just her. But depending on my mood, I might snap back. The things Geno is dealing with … are the exact same things I would deal with.[B] It’s comical.[/B]” [/QUOTE]
