This was before the South Carolina game. A loose and funny Geno talked about a lot of different topics, including how he sees the team evolving. A fun listen.
This reminds me of something I wanted to bring up but wasn’t sure what thread to stick it in - people were freaking out after the ND and USC losses, declaring the Huskies a (maybe) Sweet 16 or Elite 8 team at best or saying Geno had lost it or recruiting sucked
(yes, some said it) but Geno has said for decades he doesn’t coach to win games in December or January, his goal is to get the team ready for the postseason. He hates to lose, but he’s also said sometimes it takes a loss to get a team to focus. Azzi said that after the Tennessee loss, the team mentality changed for the better. Geno will gladly take that loss if it motivates the team for the Big East and NCAA tourneys.
I can hope, probably futilely, that people will remember the above in December but then as a Red Sox fan, I’m always optimistic about “next year”
