Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3101446, member: 9403"] This was vintage Geno and everything I love about him. His full response was great. "I don't even know what it means to have a chip on your shoulder these days. I know what it used to mean, it meant kids were pissed, they felt disrespected, and when they felt like that, you actually saw the results on the court. [Alludes to 2001 loss in St. Louis and how it kept his players motivated every single day until 2002 national championship. Showed up in practices every day and in how they played every game.] Today the chip on kids' shoulders lasts until their next text. So, we got a chip on our shoulder. They got a chip on their phone. That other stuff doesn't exist anymore. How are you going to have a chip on your shoulder when your best friends were all the kids you play against, and you got everybody on speed dial cause you played against these kids growing up? I liked it better when everybody hated each other? All the hate's gone. It's no fun." Love it. [B]That[/B] attitude is why I'm such an admirer of UConn and Geno. [/QUOTE]
