Then this summer he gave her an ultimatum. Auriemma [URL='https://www.ctinsider.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/article/UConn-women-s-basketball-Nika-Muhl-17622913.php']told Connecticut Insider[/URL].“I told her I was gonna bench her ass,” “… We went to breakfast one morning and I just said, ‘Here’s what’s going to happen. You stay the way you are right now; I don’t care if we went down to one guard, you’re not gonna play. If you change the things that I know you can change and we need to change, then you’re gonna have a phenomenal year. So, what’s it going to be?’” This was no small request, basically he told her she had to change her very nature. So she did. [ATTACH alt="frontal-view-hoover-dam-mike-o-callaghanã¢â‚¬pat-tillman-memorial-bridge-frontal-view-hoover-1...jpg"]83571[/ATTACH] She contained that raging river, which was no small feat, and transformed it into what on the surface appears to be a tranquil lake. But all that energy wasn't simply lost it just became constant, controlled and focused. Geno sees the potential in all his players and challenges them to realize it. He did with Nika this past summer and it's quite obvious that she has accepted the challenge. Who knows how far it will ultimately lead her, but she's committed to make that journey and we are lucky enough to be along for the ride. So far the views are stunning! [/QUOTE]
