Clearly...Geno has to go.

[Two Sheds]

When the wheels came off early in the fourth quarter against Baylor, Geno should have been escorted to the locker room and CD should have assumed the head coaching responsibilities. Obviously, the game has evolved in ways he does not, or, can not, understand.

Is Muffet McGraw available?

Muffet is a way better coach then Geno.

 

[Boxerpups4me]

holly is available

[JellyBean]

Yeah. The game has passed Geno by. Time to focus on the restaurant game.

'I'll take it from here. Chris has a glass of red wine for you in the locker room.'

 

[HuskyNan]

[bluedevil]

Maybe Rebecca Lobo could take over....she would be great!

 

[VaConnFan11]

Muffet is a way better coach then Geno.

Actually, during the game she is.

Geno is better at preparing a team for an opponent.

What? This thread is sarcasm......

 

[LouS]

OMG, I CAN NOT believe that supposed Uconn Women Basketball Fans can turn on Geno with one loss. You should ashamed of yourselves. He gave you a decade of enjoyment, has a young inexperience team, ranked #1, gets beat by a better team and you throw him under the bus. Shame, Shame, Shame...

If lose one game Geno has to go, Muffet should be gone 2 months ago.
BTW I think you must not know Muffet has lost 10 games up to now.

 

[HopJim]

Yeah. The game has passed Geno by. Time to focus on the restaurant game.

I believe one of his restaurants has already closed so let's keep him focused on basketball.

Yeah, her 11 NCs certainly proves that. Oh, wait...

Young inexperienced team? They start two seniors, a junior, and two sophomores, one of which was a starter last season, who have extensive USA basketball experience.

I thought this thread was a joke. It is, isn't it? The OP was being sarcastic, wasn't he or she?

Are you serious getting on a poster focusing the word "inexperienced?" So you took that hard-of-a-line approach in the word "inexperienced" and felt Kyla Irwin who rarely ever played in a big game in teh past - and felt to point out she was a senior? So you are putting her in the same boat with someone like Danger all because of age????????? And to further that you are counting "USA Basketball" that much to counter a poster saying the team is "inexperienced?"

Every player unless hurt plays during the summer. So USA Basketball counts and other players who don't play USA Basketball but worked on other parts of their game or other means -- doesn't count too?

Just asked Siri,

"Surely it's not going to rain today?"

She said "It will, and don't call me Shirley!"

[chrissaran]

What I don't like is Geno calling the team dummies. There's no need for that. They played hard. Baylor is the better team.

The Courant with help from Geno gives it a last look:

‘We’re taking it out on them’: UConn women look to rebound against Houston after Baylor ends Huskies’ 98-game home win streak

After falling to Baylor in a thrilling top 10 matchup, Geno Auriemma insisted that his team has a short memory, which isn’t the worst thing considering the UConn women will be back in action …

www.courant.com

"A huge factor in UConn’s loss, Auriemma said, was that UConn simply didn’t make enough threes to win the game. And when it mattered most in the fourth, UConn went 1-for-10 from deep.

“We knew they were going to get probably to 65, 67 and then we needed to get to 70, 75 and that we needed to make more threes than them,” Auriemma said. “We made eight. They made seven. We needed to make 10 or 11 and we didn’t. But I thought for 30 minutes, I thought we were pretty good.”

I thought (hoped???) so and treated it as such.

This is why I disagreed with the tone of that other thread created by "Mik" hammering Geno for playing Kyla. Geno is playing his shooters. We'll see if he changes at some point, but so far he has assessed that the best chance for his team to win is playing mostly a 4 shooter offense. He's not looking for his teams to play ugly grind basketball. So he wasn't about to pull Kyla who was showing a great shooter's eye unless others showed something more. I just don't think some posters understand that is how Geno sees this team. They see it the way they want the games to be played - which is more "grind-basketball." One thing we know from Geno throughout his career is that his style of grind he hates. And frankly, I'm glad he doesn't.

This response in defense of any criticism to Geno is getting old. If memory serves me, the last 2 years, when the games actually mattered, she is 2-0. Even this year, with a bad team, she was running plays that got her players open shots.

If you knew anything about coaching types, you would know that Game Prep Coaching is a lot different than In Game Coaching.

You are playing one of the taller teams in the country and you are sitting your tallest starter in the 4th quarter of a close game. That doesn't sound like good In Game Coaching to me.
