Message: [QUOTE="BroadwayVa, post: 2275393, member: 6118"] Hop jim--I see things a bit differently. 1. Defense of the dribble drive has been a factor for much of the last 10 years 2.Teams with longer bench and good guards have created problems for Uconn 3.In practice and in games Defense lapses tend to create splinter illness 4.Geno's memory is long in some areas, short in others--as it suits HIM. 5.Geno as any Coach, will manipulate emotions ,playing time or anything to motivate\ 6.The weakness of some of the Geno's more recent teams has been his created short bench. Luckily Uconn has had the talent and mobile players to mask some defense/short bench--but we have seen times where another foul or 2 may have ended in a loss. Also, we have seen teams--USC, Md, LV, Duke, ND--use freshmen early and often. I refuse to believe those teams get better more ready players than Uconn. [/QUOTE]
