Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2521381, member: 5798"] We can't be fans from afar, and coaches too. No man can serve two masters. Geno knows his players much better than we do. He sees them everyday in practice, we don't. He gets input about each player from his coaches and the trainers that we don't. [B]IN GENO I TRUST!!! The man knows his players, and knows what he's doing[/B]. There is ALWAYS a method to his madness. He knows where Megan needs to be in November, and the best way to make sure she gets there. That's very important! Either you trust Geno or you don't! Remember when we all thought Geno [B]Benched[/B] Gabby in the 2nd half of the Notre Dame game because of her play, only to find out later that she was suffering from a migraine? He knew something we didn't. Even [B]Rebecca Lobo[/B] thought she was benched, [URL='http://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/game?gameId=400994964']and said so during her TV post game comments.[/URL] You can't say he's the greatest WCBB coach ever, but then have an issue with the way he's coaching his (players) team. His way may be unconventional to some, but it works. If it didn't, why do so many coaches request permission to observe his practices? :eek: Every player is different, and responds to stimuli differently. One of the many quotes from the immortal "[I]Wizard of Westwood[/I]", [B]John Wooden[/B] said:[I] "The bench is an excellent teacher".[/I] I trust Geno and his staff to have Megan were she needs to be next season, so that she can be promoted to a starter, she's not there yet. There will be 2 vacancies (Gabby & Kia graduate) in the starting lineup next season. Megan is on track to be promoted to starter. Azura (if she stays) should be the other (we'll debate this over the summer). I expect Megan to make a leap next season similar to that of Crystal this year. I don't think I'll be disappointed. I'll leave you with the immortal words of [B]Aaron Rodgers[/B]................R-E-L-A-X. Cheers. :cool: [/QUOTE]
