Favorite Geno quote.

[Mdoggie]

Name yours. I believe he once said "if we play our A game and you play yours, you don't stand a chance"
I could have it wrong but I always loved that!

 

[BostonCanuck]

So many, but for me it's the iconic, "We have Diana and you don't."

 

[johnnyc]

'It's not my fault.'

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I can't pick one, but I have one:
"You know, Lili, we're recruiting Diana. We're not recruiting
you."

 

[BostonCanuck]

I can't pick one, but I have one:
"You know, Lili, we're recruiting Diana. We're not recruiting
you."

OMG, did he actually say that? Who's Lili?

 

[pinotbear]

OMG, did he actually say that? Who's Lili?

Diana Taurasi's Mom.

 

[bizarro aj]

Defense wins games and the ofense determines by how much.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

OMG, did he actually say that? Who's Lili?

Geno Auriemma + Diana Taurasi = Love, Italian Style A pair of paisans at UConn share a passion for hoops that makes a perfect match of cocky coach and fearless player

"Lili told Geno, "I don't like Connecticut. It's too dark."

Geno said, "Lili, for God's sake, it's 10:30 at night. When it's
10:30 in California, it's dark there, too."

 

[Zorro]

"You got one more rebound than a dead person!"

 

[BostonCanuck]

"You got one more rebound than a dead person!"

Good one. Reminds me of his dig at Guns during a recent post-game presser when someone mentioned she had a career high in steals: "Yeah, she had one."

 

[RegisteredUconn]

My favorite will likely always be "We have Diana and you don't."

But (hijack alert) how about including some quotes from others about Geno/UConn? For example, from last night,
Jose Fernandez: "They Took Our Lunch Money."

Totally sound like a Geno-ism, as I pointed out in the other thread.

 

[Huskee11]

"You know how to get 12 young women to be quiet? Put them on a basketball court."

 

[bags27]

"You know how to get 12 young women to be quiet? Put them on a basketball court."

yeah, well, that's a rip off of a certain dirty ethnic and misogenistic joke....

 

[itsasport]

"She can't guard a chair."

 

[BostonCanuck]

From a post-game presser during the 2016 NCAA tournament (I forget which game):

"When Gabby Williams comes into the game and she guards you, you're guarded."​

 

[CL82]

She may be short, but she's also slow.

 

[Zorro]

I'm a hardass, but we wouldn't have had all the accomplishments we have as a basketball program if that's all I was. Players would have stopped listening to me, and I would have been run out of coaching if that's all I was. So I think we win because I am, because I demand sometimes more than they can give. But I don't know what that is until I find out you can't give it.

 

[Carnac]

From a post-game presser during the 2016 NCAA tournament (I forget which game):

"When Gabby Williams comes into the game and she guards you, you're guarded."​

While watching the replay of the USF game. I thought of the above quote. during a UConn possession, they threw a entry pass to Napheesa on the block. She turned around and sot a lay up. A thought came to mind. When Napheesa gets the ball on the black, you're beat.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

She may be short, but she's also slow.

About Maria Conlon I believe.

 

[Bestiarius]

Geno was headed to the locker room when one of a group of young female fans yelled, "I love you Geno." Without breaking his stride, Geno replied, "That's because you don't know me."

 

[DaddyChoc]

'It's not my fault.'

was that to KLS?

 

[Wbbfan1]

Yes, it was when KLS went up to Geno and said she had four fouls.

was that to KLS?

 

[Huskylove3]

"See this piece of paper on the floor. That's as high as you jumped for that rebound."

 

[NewCorn]

Maya understands defense at the third grade level.
