Message: [QUOTE="BroadwayVa, post: 2985348, member: 6118"] A couple of point I may add to your "tempo" usually decides point totals. 1. 3 experienced and knowledgable Starters (no knock on CW/MW they just didn't play much or at all last season) 2. With ONLY 5 that play at a near true Div one (or Uconn) pace. What does Geno do when Phee or KLS or Danger or Walker get into 4 fouls ? So, it my less than John Wooden belief is that Geno is raving and ranting on NO FOULs, give up 3's (they are usually thrown up with a lower percentage) if the choice is foul or allow. With the drop off when going to the bench Geno has little choice of NOT playing the defense he has in the past. Again No J.W., but the known ills of no effective Big and No effective Unmentionables. Geno may be the greatest of the greatest but even he cannot correct mid season, when he received no injection of that talent. He has often said Great recruits make Coaches look great. That may be the truest of all his words. I'm critical of Geno--have no doubt--but to expect the impossible to happen or in their play is not looking at reality. Geno hates to lose--I feel sorry for Geno. [/QUOTE]
