Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 2478561, member: 250"] It's when you hear the coaches talking that the words take on more punch. "The Auriemma influence doesn't go away when the players leave UConn. Reeve said it's her experience -- and this definitely is the case with Moore -- that former Huskies want to be critiqued without any punches pulled. They respond well to that, even long after their college days. "While in the moment they may not want to hear it, at the end of the day, it's what they want," Reeve said. "And when they don't have it, they feel like they're falling short. When they move on from UConn and Geno, those days of being pushed hard is what they crave." "What's important is not really [I]what[/I] he's running, it's the [I]way[/I] they do it," Reeve said. "Let's say they are going to install a set. Whatever it is, Geno wants to make sure his team is unpredictable for the defense. He teaches them to keep cutting and moving. That's the beauty of their offense when you watch it. "To always have a chance at winning a championship for as long as he has, to do it over and over, is so impressive. Watching what he's doing is something we're getting to experience that's maybe a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Who knows when that will ever come along again."
