Minor Mystery vs Lousville

[UcMiami]

As a side note - I noticed that Geno is almost ALWAYS coaching. Maybe not always, but I've often seen other games where opposing coaches sit, knee, stand, squat, etc. and don't seem to have much to say to their players. It seemed to me that every time the camera panned on Geno, he was animatedly gesticulating something to the players. I know i've seen in other games he sits and watches, but i was wondering...

For people who maybe pay more attention than I do, does Geno generally coach a lot more during games from the sidelines than other coaches, or is it more even? Just curious... Even when we were up big vs. L'ville, he was still coaching - and very animated.

I know it goes back to how he wants the team to play the game regardless of score. Pretty cool.

Good point Tony - I don't think the amount of 'coaching' in close games varies too much from team to team. I do think Geno may be more specific in coaching individual players on specific issues on a play to play basis. And I think he is generally more involved in coaching blow-out wins and the occasional blow-out loss than many coaches. But he too takes times off either because the team is playing very well, it is playing very badly and he has run out of options, or he has a headache (I think he suffers from migraine.) He also sometimes loses interest in mop up time when the starters are all out.

It is rarely a good sign when Geno stops coaching. Most often it is his way of saying to the team, "If you are not going to do what I tell then why should I waste my time talking to you."
