Message: [QUOTE="and one, post: 3658007, member: 10475"] I'm not real concerned about leadership on this team. Leadership comes down to expectations and accountability and comes from two directions, coaches and peers. Some other programs seem to lack leadership on one or both levels but I have never seen a UConn team that lacked it. We have had a few players over the years that didn't seem to want to accept the expectations and accountability that comes with the UConn culture and they move on. It starts with the coaches. Geno, Chris, Shea and Jamelle are demanding and expect the players to accept the responsibility to work hard in practice and games, to learn the plays, and to improve their mental and physical skill sets. Players provide peer pressure and lead by example. It could be a D type that is in your face or a bench player that grinds it out in practice. Who steps up and how may not be apparent now, but trust me, it will be there. There are no rudderless UConn teams. [/QUOTE]
