Message: [QUOTE="PacoSwede, post: 5351678, member: 120"] love this post. what's in [B]bf[/B] suggests to me a problem [I][SIZE=5]for the [/SIZE][SIZE=6]fans:[/SIZE][/I] [SIZE=6]will [/SIZE][SIZE=4]geno steal the source of pleasure you relish from the fans? will these many developing players get a chance to provide it? if we don't see them playing, if they're glued to the bench, how do we enjoy their development? since uconn this season can destroy many foes from nov. through late march -- and i suspect it often will be the case -- i hope the newbies and recovering players will have ample time to entertain us. the entire roster of 15 would intrigue me in their appearances. hell, i would love gandy to show us where she starts her journey and watch her progress, not to mention allie, blanca and the rest. with this season's schedule and the starters (whoever they be) including multiple star players it shouldn't be tough to get everyone good minutes and still win. maybe geno won't comply. he wants players to "earn" court exposure and to reinforce the chemistry and cohesiveness of a core group. he's also aware that failure to excel, especially in front of the huge uconn fanbase, could set back some players. and their improvement seems to be the prime directive, after all that seems to make sense in creating the most unbeatable team possible. would fans rather have the enjoyment of watching all players perform, though? if storrs is the broadway of wcbb, as geno has postulated, will he produce an epic hit musical or a sleep-inducing drama? geno maybe should go for the hit this season -- try to excite the audience, which has many boring games to endure upcoming (BYers will watch anyway). he might not fashion a juggernaut[SIZE=4], but does he need one? he's already won 12 NC, and it looks good for #13. in the past, he's proved he can lose some games and still sweep april. perfection is not the goal.[/SIZE][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
