Wow. what an article.
Batten down the hatches.
“I feel like Coach Geno is going to get the best out of me,” Bueckers said. “I need a coach who is going to push me and is hard on me. It’s going to be a tough-love relationship but I’m really looking forward to it."
And it won’t: “We both have pretty big egos. He’s always joking around and I’m the same way. I see us bantering a lot, and going at each other. Just because I’m not going to back down and I don’t care who it is. I don’t care if it’s coach Geno Auriemma.”

“She’s not Diana Taurasi tough,” Cosgriff said. “There’s the comparisons going on and she might be as skilled and she might be as good a player, but she’s not that mentality yet. She’s the best I’ve ever had in terms of seeing the game two or three passes in advance and the feel for the game, athletic as hell, but I’m a worrier. I just love her. I want her to do really well. All the social media and that sort of thing — I’m a worrier. But that’s the difference between her and I. I think she just lets it all roll right off her back.”
