Just askin', re: Geno

[tomcat]

Given the BY preoccupation with all things UConn WCBB, I thought it interesting that there is no thread here relating to the coach's illness, serious enough to keep him home from the Tulsa game. Anyone know if he's ok?

 

[oldude]

He’s sick.

 

[choochoo]

The flu this year is brutal. If thats what he has God bless him.

 

[tomcat]

It's just kind of remarkable that, given the BY's overall preoccupation with player illnesses and injuries, that when the coach (a sort of prominent person, after all) takes ill, non one has much to say. I'm not asking for speculation or anything., Just wondered if there was reporting on it that I hadn't seen. Guess not.

 

[Geew1992]

I don’t know how to post a thread in here but there is a thread about his illness

 

[Carnac]

He would recuperate faster if he stayed home and gave his body the additional days rest, and rejoined the team for Saturday's Senior Day in Gampel vs Houston at 1:00 pm (thanks hoops).

Wichita State (11-15/4-9) will not be a problem the Huskies can't handle. Rumor has it that WS may employ some WWE tactics (holding, punching, elbowing, tripping, pushing, pulling,etc.) to try to disrupt UConn’s offense and lower the MOV.

One more tidbit, not one of their starters are averaging double figures in scoring. Their combined average is less than 33 points per game. That might be a problem.

They're ranked 10th in the AAC, and currently riding a 2 game losing streak, courtesy of USF and UCF. Geno's presence will not be needed tomorrow night, but it will be mandatory on senior day.

Massey rates this game as UConn having a 100% chance of winning, 83-42. Whatever Geno has, we wish him well, and a speedy recovery.

Saturday is actually a day game with the start time listed as 1 PM. You don't want to tune in at night. It'll be all over by then.

 

[JordyG]

Geno had pretty much the same thing happen to him last year and his physician recommended rest. Geno drives himself pretty hard.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

When does the speculation about retirement start as it did when he was hospitalised for a couple of days?

OBTW: "Will he or won’t he?: Dailey said the plan was for Auriemma to return to the sidelines against Wichita State after missing Sunday’s game with an illness. As of Monday afternoon, the school had not provided any updates on Auriemma’s status " Women’s basketball gameday: No. 2 UConn at Wichita St.

 

[HuskyBandDad]

What is the matter with you guys. No one cares about the coach. It is all about the players. Coaches lose games and players win games.

Almost nobody gives a dang about Geno, unless of course , he is failing to recruit great players by the boatload. Or failing miserably to train and play his bench. Otherwise, nothing! What has he done for fans lately?

 

[Fairfield Fan]

I would like to know how sick he is as well. What exactly is the problem? Did he have a heart attack? Did he collapse? Was it a serious problem? Is it recurring? Why can't UConn explain what "sick" means?

How many days has he been sick? If it's the flu, why won't the university say "he's sick with the flu"?

I recall the cryptic non-statements about Batoulie Camara. Nothing was ever explained. And now two years later, she remains hobbled, apparently, by a serious injury that wasn't explained to the fan base.

Yes, I'd like to know what's wrong with Coach Geno.

 

[Ozimoto]

In a nutshell, HIPPA.

 

[MainefanSC]

What ever it is, let's hope he follows the Dr's and the boss' (wife) orders. I'm thinking lots of rest and staying away from reading the Boneyard. We fans have a way of stealing player and coach "moxie". He doesn't need to see our criticism and Monday morning quarter backing. Although if he needs fodder for some new material, we certainly provide that.

Get well and GO HUSKIES!!!

Must have consumed some bad sausage....

 

[BroadwayVa]

He’s sick.

I like your answer! Just thought you got lost in the details.

 

['nuff sed]

Maybe he just cut himself shaving and he’s embarassed

 

[JordyG]

Must have consumed some bad sausage....

Some Kraft sausage.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Auriemma to miss 2nd consecutive game due to illness

That was only sensible.

"The Hall of Famer issued a statement saying he expects to be back on the sideline Saturday for the Huskies final home game of the season against Houston. "

 

[CL82]

A stomach virus? Is he channeling Jim Calhoun?

 

[oldude]

Some Kraft sausage.

I’m thinking hot Italian sausage with Marinara sauce.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

I always use sweet Italian sausage in my cooking. The hot's just too much.

This is a long bout of illness. A stomach virus usually doesn't last this long. He must be in bad shape. And especially to miss this much time for a man who never misses games due to illness.

I wish him all the best.

Let's see. The "BY preoccupation" started with this thread on Sunday.
Geno Out Sick Today per UCONN
That thread has been updated everyday since including about 40 minutes ago.
Real "preoccupation" would be starting another thread wondering if we are too worried or not worried enough about Geno.
