Muffet Energized by Challenge

[Reypl21]

Except it's a bunch of crap. Muffet cares so much about winning over execution that every single in game interview when her team is clobbering the opposition she complains about what they aren't getting right. The morphing of Geno/Tara and Mulkey/McGraw is suspect as well. There is only one of those coaches that throw clothing and it's not McGraw. As far as in game ref complaints. McGraw doesn't even register on the scale of Geno and Mulkey. Actually trying to create a narrative that the Geno doesn't wave his arms around and get animated is ridiculous. Tell me how many times Chris Daley has gotten the brunt of his behavior during a game. Ever seen one of ND's assistant coaches have to hold McGraw back? The notion that Geno doesn't care about winning can be discounted by just doing a quick review of when Geno wasn't winning against ND in the last days of the BE. He didn't handle it like you're trying to portray.

You basically summed up your own article "Coach Geno-fan" "Coach Muffet-hater"...then just made # 2 up.

I was going to say..... MM doesn't really get that heated towards the refs. Grouping her with Mulkey is not correct IMO. Mulkey and Waltz seem like a pair that like to work the refs and yell at them more. Geno can get very pissed at the refs, but he doesn't work them. McGraw and Tara seem to be more like one another in that regard.

… Geno can get very pissed at the refs, but he doesn't work them.

Do you actually believe that? What about his baiting of Arike in last December's UConn - ND game? He wasn't "working" the refs in that particular case, but he was using them to "work" Arike (and to do so successfully).

In other instances, he definitely works the refs to maximize the chances that if one call goes unfavorably, the next similar one will go UConn's way.

Are you serious? "Baiting"? That was Muffet's dishonest spin on the incident.
