Geno has something to say to the Caroline doubters

[HuskyNan]

"I don't know what makes me happier, the fact that Caroline is playing great and contributing a lot, or that it shuts up all the idiots that wonder why she's starting, why's she's playing so many minutes and how much someone else would be better than her," Auriemma said.

Tell us what you really think, Geno. LOL

THANK YOU, GENO! So true, so true....

 

[Kait14]

I've never seen her play the way she did today. She was absolutely everywhere, and deserves all of the playing time she's getting. She was lights out

 

[semper]

Geno is a riot...ya gotta love him...

 

[TDiNozzo]

I wonder where he's getting the idiot information from.....

 

[Tonyc]

Go Geno.

 

[semper]

Well, he didn't find it on the Boneyard.

 

[speedoo]

Geno rocks!

I love it. I get so tired of the arm chair couches who doubt and judge these kids. Last year it was Kelly...and all summer it was this about Caroline. I am glad that he said it. She's terrific.

Originally, I thought you might have meant "coaches" but you've actually phrased it so much more elegantly.

You know, I did mean coaches at first, but on taking a second look you may be right. Thank you

 

[Icebear]

Thank you, Geno. Some of us have been backing you and Caroline for a long time.

 

[Fiftyish]

Thanks Geno. He knows what he is doing when he sets the line up. That's why he makes the big bucks.

Thank you Geno!

Geno says he's never seen Caroline Doty ever play a better game - 14 pts, 12 rebounds, seven assists in 26 minutes #UConnwomen

Jim Fuller with Geno's full quote:

"I don't know what makes me happier, the fact that Caroline is playing great, contributing a lot or it shuts up all the idiots who wonder why she is starting, why she is playing so many minutes and somebody else would be so much better than her," Auriemma said. "It is doubly rewarding for me because I have a lot of confidence in her as a person. She might play poorly, she might play well but I know as a person and from a leadership standpoint how much she has overcome and how much it means for her to be a good player at Connecticut, what it means to her to finish her senior year on the right note so anytime she can play a game like she played today I feel great for her."

We're not the only web site in town, ya know.

Try reading the comments on the Hartford Courant web site once in a while. There are guys there who just love to antagonize Geno.

Great point, Wonkster. Anytime I don't like the way the discourse is going on the Boneyard all I have to do is read those comment sections for a little perspective.

From the horse's mouth to the horses' asses - some of them on the forum. I would guess that the qoute, in some respects, applies to coments about PT for others on the team as well. He can figure out who plays, where they play and how long they play without any help.

 

[Bobanozz]

It seems to me UConn always finds players we may not have the highest recruiting rankings, or the best and 1 mix tape. The coaches find players that will do anything to win. Players like Mel Thomas. We have two great ones in Kelly and Caroline. KML is going to be one too, did you see her go running in for that rebound and bang heads with the Oregon player? With that big of a lead most players would have let it go. The things Caroline brings to the court may not show in the stat sheet, they show up in the win column

 

[SWHuskyFan]

I don't think I've seen a lot of thoughts on what would happen if Caroline started playing somewhere near her old standard. To me, she's been moving so much better than last year. The shots just didn't seem to be falling like they used to fall. Caroline was definitely one of those players that when she shot the ball you just thought it was going in. If she can start hitting shots in addition to her other contributions, that would be huge.

Geno's right, I'm back on the bandwagon. Yes, that's also an admission that I'm one of the idiots that questioned why she was starting and playing so many minutes.

Contrition is oh so good for the soul.

I feel sick to my stomach - I just went to John's blog and read some of these comments to which some previous posts were referring. Yuck! Some of these posts resemble posts on the ESPN boards.

There are voices of reason also, thank goodness, but no wonder Geno brought this up in his presser.....if these are the "idiots" to which he was referring, Nothing on the BY that I remember reading was this blunt in their nay-saying about Caroline's PT/abilities.

I'll pass. There are enough people on here to annoy me.

 

[semper]

Not to defend or detract, and I was not a naysayer...but she is a different player this year than last. Things said over the summer were about the player of last season. This is a new season and NEW CD.
