Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3365443, member: 7511"] It can be extremely difficult for a coach to change, particularly one who’s been at it for 30-40 years and has experienced enormous success. Two seasons ago, Geno went through a transformation after a particularly difficult situation with 4 freshmen players, 3 of whom are no longer with UConn. To anyone who has observed Geno since, clearly he has changed the way he deals with his players. He may still chide them in public, but it’s more of a gentle nudge than a harsh rebuke. When Megan came out of the ND game in the 4th qtr, Geno uncharacteristically hugged her. Such displays of affection used to be confined to seniors playing their last game. This idea might be anathema to MM, but perhaps she can learn something from the stubborn old curmudgeon in Storrs. If Geno can change his approach, maybe MM can change her approach as well. [/QUOTE]
