The last 5 of the regular season? That seems to be about when she came back.

Look at the videos of those games.

She was notably absent for much of the season.

The entire Auriemma interview shed a lot of light on the topics, of players and the state of the team. Point guard, Def., Griffin and Patterson specifically. His take on over ,or under training and the opinions and criticisms involved in conditioning programs, were of course, on point.

I would like for Geno to give us a similar interview like this once a week throughout the season. This way we can stay informed on the status of the team overall, and the players individually; so that when we post comments about the team/players, they are intelligent and informed comments. We wouldn't have to wonder or suppose. We'd get the latest "state of the team" status straight from the coach's mouth.

I totally miss her. She shoots free throws like an NBA All Star.

When she smiles she looks just like her dad.

She plays just like him too. I watched him almost every home game at Seton Hall. She is a very, very underrated player because she is a throwback floor player. I think we will be very surprised at her this year. Like I said, she has more deflections than at a political press conference.

There are certain players in all sports, that jump off the tv screen and stun you when you see them playing in person. Aubrey Griffin has natural born talent, hopefully with good health we will all witness her growth.

Geno could do 1 million more interviews and the BY would still not be informed enough. The BY would still over analyze, misstate, misinterpret and continue to wonder if Geno is being sarcastic or serious with everything he says. Even worse the players not mentioned by name will be assumed to be in a dog house, out of the rotation or flat out not doing well. I can't wait for the season to start because the games are the only thing that count.

I'll play the Billy Martin role here, Coco, and say I agree with both you and Carnac. I still enjoy listening to Geno doing his thing and wish there were more interviews. As for the BY, we don't have to read everyone's posts, or take seriously everything everyone writes.

I learned fairly early in my 42-year journalism career that it matters not how accurate, forthright or clever we think our posts are, somebody will disagree, and that's their privilege. Heck, that they read what I had written was pretty cool.

These days on this forum, as frustrated as I might get, it's all a part of what makes the Boneyard as special as it is.
