Everybody Happy Now?

My reasoning is Geno has a relatively seasoned team with 3 all americans, add Z, certainly a player that can start on any team in the nation, and MW , the top high school player last season. Molly and Kyla are into their second season. You are either in the TEAR DOWN or BUILD UP camp . Interesting that you want to compare Geno to other coaches. I want to compare Geno to Geno. I have been watching him coach since the beginning. This is not one of his stellar jobs , so far..... but ?

I am in neither the “tear down” or “build up” camp, but in the coach them up camp. Yes, Geno has a relatively seasoned team, and with the exception of the time Z spent in the Duke program, who was the coach while these players became seasoned and became All Americans? College sports are competition, and players on the UConn squad are going to be compared to players they compete against, and Geno will be compared to the coaches he competes against. In any sport, in deciding the final score, they never ask you how, just how many. I am not advocating everything in Geno’s style of coaching, but he is in a results based profession, and his program in D-1 women’s basketball is the Amazon of the business world, and has been for many moons. It’s one thing to get to the top, and entirely another thing to stay there- that’s how I compare Geno to Geno, and if you can find coaches who have done it better over the years, or this year if you wish, I’m guessing you could count them one one hand and have several fingers left after naming him.

I'm curious how you know how much time Gabby has put into her shooting. My firm belief is Gabby is always looking for someone with a better shot and often passes up shots she should take. Look at the number of assists she has per game. I wish one of the stat gurus could put something together that would give a clearer picture of her percentages at various ranges.

My guess is Geno got what he wanted out of last nights game. Geno has made it very clear that he expects a certain level of effort/results to get playing time and apparently he is not willing to lower those standards to have more substitutes. This may be why he has 11 championships.

Did you not see how Texas played well off of Gabby , knowing she wanted to drive , but was reluctant to shoot the jumper. Finally late in the game she put up a 12 footer and made it.

I think it's time for Geno to show a little LOVE once in awhile !!!!

Just saying: ! 1) At half time Geno was asked how he thought the bench performed in the 2nd quarter ? After rolling his tongue around for 5 seconds, his reaction was " Our starters will be in for the 3rd quarter " REALLY

He has been doing the mind games for 30 years. With great results. You really expect him to change?
He called Rebbeca Lobo the worst post her first year.

Just helping other schools to fill their arenas.

Watching him before, during, and after some recent games, I don't see him enjoying himself at all. He said he would stop coaching when he did not enjoy doing it.

I wouldn't have thrown all of them in against a starting five of any team. I would have brought one in to get comfortable with 4 of the starters,,,then bring in another then a few minutes later another and finish a quarter with all 5 reserves working it out. But, that's why I'm a arm chair coach and Geno is a Hall of Famer.

Go Huskies!

From your indignation here and the title of your thread, I'm wondering whether you're thinking that the discussions on BY "caused" Geno to do it? Hope so!

Now that's funny!
