Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 5306086, member: 1131"] Geno absolutely does coach his non-star players to get the ball to their teammates who are the scorers, and he coaches the scorers to take it to the rim rather than passing off when they have a scoring opportunity. There was an early play in one of the Final Four games this year where Sarah took the ball to the hoop and scored even though Kaitlyn Chen was unguarded on the wing. Rebecca commented that in earlier games, Sarah would probably have passed that ball to Kaitlyn, but Geno and the staff had been coaching her for the last few weeks NOT to pass if she had any opportunity to score. He has been doing that for all of the two decades that I've been following UConn. When Kalana Greene took a couple 3-point attempts that missed, Geno told her something like, "If you want a three, pass it to Renee or Maya and let them shoot". It's just good, standard coaching that any good coach would do. [/QUOTE]
