Message: [QUOTE="Littlemin, post: 4279517, member: 10363"] Alert to all tired of my posting on this subject, ignore this…….. So to be repetitive, there is a big difference between not being tough and being soft. I don’t think Uconn players are “soft” but rather are “not tough”. What I really mean by that is that is, to me, “soft” implies not being willing to mix it up but not playing “tough” is more a reflection on personality and general style of play. There is no doubt that the Uconn players could and would play tough when given an example to follow (playing follow the leader so to speak) but it is not in the nature of most of their players to initiate playing that way. I have made no bones about my feelings in this area and Auriemma chose to essentially bench the player who brought that “tough” mind set to the court. IMO, it eventually cost them, others may disagree. [/QUOTE]
