Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2518867, member: 3535"] 1-- What does "poor" defense mean to you? Your definition of it and apparently mine and thankfully along with Coach Auriemma's is different. I mean for you to get "ticked off," and don't see a difference -- then I think I just pointed out if you always carry that belief imo you will eventually always be "ticked off." And as a result, I think your view on defense is wrong. 2-- Dumb passes is offense. Are we talking offense or defense? Or now we want to talk both? 3-- Apparently one too many. You have an 11 time NC coach over the years telling you practices are important too and he is telling you that AZ's defense is poor. That's not enough? And if we are comparing Lou vs AZ - now you've just recently mentioned offense and you've heard over this year how Geno has said how important he feels Lou is even if she isn't scoring. I take it you've been a follower of UCONN a long time and Geno has showed you with Strother and with Mel Thomas he loves "the shooter" in the lineup even if it meant less mintues for players like Turner or Charde. He has "told" you specifically though for how long that "practices" are important? And yet you feel you know the number of AZ's defensive mistakes was maybe just once or twice vs Lou's many to the point that you had to post on here that you were ticked off of the coaching of the 11 time NC coach (The only reason why I brought up 11 time NC coach is that you first said it. Yet you're pissed to such a degree with his substitutions?)? 4-- I enjoy making long responses. 5-- I know it's not that serious. Yet you made it a point that it was serious enough that you were "ticked off?" Then went on to suggest that it's serious enough that UCONN would start losing recruits because the 11 time NC coach isn't handling substitutions in the manner you feel appropriate? My post sort of responded that Geno not giving others minutes vs "UCF" is not that serious as you made it out to be, right? From the post you had made it sure didn't sound like you thought Geno knew what he was doing. Even another poster questioned your post. ******At the end of the game before they put the mic to Geno I thought exactly the same as you. Plus I thought Lou played poorly though I know what her presence means. But then the mic he speaks of the freshmen- that told me why they didn't play. It told you too, but yet you're ticked off even after the fact? It sure doesn't sound like you believe Geno "knows what he is doing" by the post you made still arguing about Z's defense ("How many mistakes did she make?" you asked) along with suggesting we are going to lose recruits. And then the postgame he speaks of AZ's defense. So for me it changed everything. With you apparently it hasn't? So if I don't agree with your defensive philosophy -- I think how you look at defense is wrong- how else can I express it while you make posts to the contrary that you're "ticked off?" Some people agreed with your post. Some didn't. It's not a big deal we are arguing, is it? [/QUOTE]
