Message: [QUOTE="Jimbo, post: 2009758, member: 6751"] I think you're right about all of that—including running a play for Stokes when she was 2 points shy of a triple double—except for the part about Geno regretting the Sales play against Villanova. He felt bad about how Nykesha was treated afterwards, of course, but he's always stuck to his guns that letting her break the record was the right thing to do and that the backlash that followed was unfair. Truth be told, I think the press reaction from back then still irks him today. At one of his postgame pressers just within the past couple weeks (sorry, not sure which game), he mentioned that the leadup to 90 wins probably wasn't getting as much attention as in 2010 because this time around it was just UConn breaking a UConn record. For good measure, he then questioned aloud why the Nykesha Sales play got so much attention back in 1998, since that too was just a UConn record. But I don't get the sense he'd make a different decision if he had it to do over again. Extended discussion here (starting around the 13:00 mark): [media=youtube]AAQYWtv7PY4[/media] [/QUOTE]
