Message: [QUOTE="Papa33, post: 2057813, member: 682"] Yep, even the mighty Sue couldn't measure up to Geno's standards— if [I]any[/I]thing goes wrong on offense, he told her, you, as the point guard, are responsible— and she left at least practice in tears. Plus, UConn offense is not a strict pattern, like learning a dance step with diagrams on the floor. The point guard, more than anyone else has to read the defense, know her teamates habits and strengths and liabilities, guage the speed of cuts, etc etc. That takes time, lots of time, lots of experience, and a high level of basketball intelligence. Easy enough for armchair coaches to measure players and find them wanting, and it's especially wearing when such coaches seem at times to be offended that a player doesn't measure up to their standard. I wish Geno could invite such sharp-edged souls to suit up for a single UConn practice. That would be an experience, no? [/QUOTE]
