Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4022895, member: 5823"] :eek: You were expecting the article to address the players that didn't play or barely played in an exhibition game? That comparison to Paige and UCONN WBB your perspective is rather UCONN and Azzi centric (nothing wrong with it). This is not UCONN it is USA basketball which happen to have a pair of UCONN players on the team. It is not USA job to keep you informed of Azzi's health status. Paige is the current star of UCONN WBB where as Azzi is not expected to star on this team. Note that the expected star of this team Caitlin Clark actually played and was not mentioned in the article. UCONN WBB also has a horde or reporters (local and national) that covers the team on a regular basis. This USA basketball team will be lucky to have a couple reporters covering the team maybe once the tournament starts. Access to the players pre and post games is not the norm and don't expect national network coverage of the games except for possibly the finals. In summary you are projecting UCONN WBB expectations for media coverage (or lack of) unto this USA basketball team (U19) which has caused you to perceive an issue requiring explanation. I don't believe there is an issue because Azzi seemed fine in warmups. [/QUOTE]
