Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 2112711, member: 6911"] But as we prepare for this weekend's games, and as we look back at all of us of little faith, let us also ponder the words of the recently eliminated Duke WCBB coach Joann P. McCallie on July 1 of last year: [URL="http://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-duke-coach-blasts-geno-0702-20160701-story.html"]Duke's McCallie Criticizes Geno For Taking Transfers; His Response? She Should 'Try A Little Harder'[/URL] "When have you known Connecticut to take transfers?" McCallie said. "They took two this year. They took Azura and [Batouly Camara] from Kentucky. Make sure you look at this stuff from a deep point of view, because why is [Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma] doing that? You know why he's doing that? Because talent is down. And he wants to continue to win. Obviously, they're great. "But really? Is that what we're about now, I'm going to take transfers? That was the neat thing they used to have. Connecticut wasn't a transfer school. Now, even if they win it, who cares? I can't even understand it because he's such a good coach and it's such a great program." So as UConn and Coach Auriemma prepare for the game that could take them to the Elite Eight and further, let us also remember Coach Geno's words for Coach JPM: "She's tried so hard to get to a Final Four with all the disadvantages there (at Duke). So I suggest she try a little harder and let us try to be respectable." Bu-bye, Duke! [/QUOTE]
