Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3831353, member: 5798"] [B]Thanks to Wolf 101, I've amended this post. It contained some language that was not accurate. :)[/B] The thing fans should understand and take note of is [U]most of us[/U] have never coached at the high school level or above. [B]There are some members here that are coaching now, or have in the past. [/B]Most of us think like fans. When I watch a game, I do so as a fan. I enjoy the game much more that way. In Geno I trust. Geno knows what he is doing, and is always thinking ahead. One very important thing that must be mentioned here. We watch the game on TV. There are things that happen on the court that you will see if you're in attendance that you won't see on TV. :confused: Also, sometimes players are out of position or not where they are suppose to be, or they make a mental or physical error that results in a turnover or a basket for the opposition. Geno sees that and most of us don't. HE knows how the offense is suppose to run, most of us don't. HE knows who is doing what they are suppose and who isn't. Something to think about. The 5 players he has on the floor at any given time are out there at HIS discretion for a reason. While we are emotionally involved with certain players, and want to see them get minutes, he is not. He's not concerned about the optics. He's looking for certain things from certain players given the current situation of that game. There was a reason Autumn didn't play yesterday and Saylor did. He has plans and expectations for Saylor that he does not for Autumn. Many many times over the years (during the course of a game) Chris Dailey has had to tell or remind Geno of something because he was so focused on game action, he's was not conscious of it. Coaches know who they want in the game at any given time. They know what each one of their players can and can't do. When Geno puts Mir (or any other player) into the game, it's because he needs what she brings and can do at that particular time in the game. He's not thinking.........oh, I need to let Mir get some minutes because she hasn't played yet. :confused: It's easy to coach from our living room recliners. It's much different being on the sidelines and not have to be accountable for the end result. As long as Geno continues to coach, he will have his detractors. That's OK. That's what fans do, and that is what this forum is for. None of us have answer some of the "clown questions" or redundant questions he is often peppered with during post-games pressers. Walk a mile in his shoes. It's not as easy or s simple as it looks. [/QUOTE]
