Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 2478578, member: 7548"] Reeves among all those I have heard comment on Geno seems to best understand and explain his approach to basketball. She would definitely be my choice as successor if it were possible. Anywho, 3 quotes from the article that left the biggest impression The Auriemma influence doesn't go away when the players leave UConn. Reeve said it's her experience -- and this definitely is the case with Moore -- that former Huskies want to be critiqued without any punches pulled. They respond well to that, even long after their college days. "While in the moment they may not want to hear it, at the end of the day, it's what they want," Reeve said. "And when they don't have it, they feel like they're falling short. When they move on from UConn and Geno, those days of being pushed hard is what they crave." "That's why [in the WNBA] we're glad to have a UConn player. Because you know when you get them, they're equipped to play," Reeve said. Unfortunately, I am not sure that applies to every WNBA team. Some teams simply are incapable of running an offense in a way that encourages team play. Maybe Kia Nurse to the Lynx? "To always have a chance at winning a championship for as long as he has, to do it over and over, is so impressive. Watching what he's doing is something we're getting to experience that's maybe a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Who knows when that will ever come along again." [/QUOTE]
