While online, I watched an old Geno tv interview show. His guests were Nykesha Sales & Kerry Bascom, teammates from the 90's. At the conclusion of the program Geno asked the women to ask him a question that they wouldn't ask as young players. Kerry ask him since he was such a 'hard-ass' back in the day toward his players, something like, who do you take directions from or really listen to? Geno was quick to respond, 'Chris Dailey & Kathy Auriemma'.
Even back then he said he know he was hard on the girls then and wishes that he could still be. He stated that kids are different and pout because no one ever yelled at them before and was as demanding. After being advised by CD and KA, he realized that they were usually right. So, watching him go tough on Nika the other night, his statements on tv in the early 2,000's made me think a little.
Geno is a coach who belongs in the hall of fame. 'hope he continues to coach his brains out' tonight. Go girls!
