Geno & Muffet together again

[HuskyNan]

They’re introducing their friend, the legendary Bentley coach Barbara Stevens, in her Naismith HOF induction.

Ex-Bentley coach Barbara Stevens set for induction into Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame

The speech that Barbara Stevens delivers at her induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame will be precise, creative and effective. That’s what happens when you give a coach of her caliber this much time to game plan.

There are so many great coaches in DII, DIII & NAIA that toil away in relative obscurity, it’s really good to see the HOF honor one of the very best.

Funny line at the beginning when Stevens jokes to Geno and Muffet on stage. Are you guys ok? Do we need security?

Tamika looks like she can play now.

Classy lady. Very gracious to all, even those in UConn shirts.

Agree. Here is her speech for the folks who missed it...

Just wondering? Can D1 schools play D2 schools in exhibitions? If so...how about UConn scheduling
Bentley ...either this coming season or soon after that. I assume Bentley would be at least a decent opponent even with the
HOF'er retired. Geno could invite Barbara as a special guest...and say Geno-type things to the crowd.
Would make a nice moment...no?

UConn has played a number of preseason games against D2 schools through the years. Perhaps that could be a possibility.

Would love to see UConn play Bentley, even as an exhibition. Anyone else think Geno looked very tired and uncomfortable?

Still pissed and tired from the Softball games I imagine.
