Golly, Geno must not be a horrible ogre if Holly likes him, huh?
Maybe not even a suspicious character anymore. But let's indulge in a brief departure from the spirit of détente.
MMC: "The series ended . . . because Pat Summitt suspected recruiting shenanigans that she didn't expect from an elite coach."
Somewhat pejorative and awkward non-explanation. She suspected him of what she didn't expect.
With the other coaches, I guess she didn't suspect them. Or, she expected the shenanigans she suspected. Or, she expected to suspect them and was surprised when her expectation they would be suspects unexpectedly dissipated.
Well, leave us not get convoluted.
For my part, I suspected Summitt of trying to forestall the inevitable in a petty way that I didn't expect from an elite coach.
I kind of liked John Adams's non-explanation better than Maria's. Pat was "miffed" at Geno's (whatever) tactics. That captures the paltriness better.
Also liked Adams's flat-out statement that UConn has surpassed Tennessee as the sport’s marquee program. For that undeniable (in all sane quarters) truth, I can forgive, and indeed find acceptable, the further statement that Geno has achieved "almost" Summitt-like status.
I can wait for the final tally, and the comparison doesn't matter all that much. I like to watch UConn play and wouldn't trade it for any lesser brand of ball -- even play of "almost" Geno-like status. (Ain't much around like that.)
Now back to the new Era of Good Feelings.
