Wish the sportscasters who always want to say,"UConn wins 'cause they get all the best players" could understand this. Everytime they make an uninformed statement meant to deinigrate UConn, they do the entire sport a diservice. Do they say things like that, cause the network wants them to, or are they just that stupid? There always seems to be an agenda.

It is not the players a coach get--it's how the coach develops the players that coach actually get. Geno has done well with one top gun and a cast of second tier players (second tier not defined).

I contend that it's both. For example, no matter how hard Kathryn Westbeld works and how smart she plays, she doesn't have the physical gifts to be Breanna Stewart.

No doubt what you say is correct. A perfect match is both coach and player. I do believe some coaches get the most from players--while others wouldn't. DT, Stewie, Maya, Sue, among others have had something in their make up's that made them excel. Some had physical characteristics that did that too. Faris was one with out physical characteristics--just a hard nosed kid with drive. That only took her so far, and Geno took her further. Using your example--I doubt that ND's Turner will ever be a
Stewie type of player--close but no clone. Can you define Stewie or DT--I can't.
