Message: [QUOTE="da60, post: 3816442, member: 8933"] Some thoughts of Butler game..1st I want to commend Coach for how he handled Nika. Remember, she is just a kid, over from Europe & away from her foreign environment, family, etc. I saw coach ream her out, But I watched the body language between the 2. Geno definitely was upset with himself for making the kid shed some tears, which were visible...he kept talking and talking to her and worked to win her over emotionally...if you noticed he physically poked at her, which to me shows compassion. He has dealt with young female athletes for the bulk of his life...he knows what he is doing and when he realizes that he may have gone over the line....he makes nice and pulls back. It was like a kid being in the hs guidance office. Coach is uniquely dealing with a Very young team. He has had the misfortune of pulled games....he is coaching his brains out. I hope that the team will pull together after this 'scrimmage'. I have some similar memories of such situations back in the day. Nika will be fine...just hoping to see a lot out of this year's team. Go girls! t [/QUOTE]
