Nope. Never thought that. Took your assessment at face value. I am convinced you are equal opportunity harsh (just kidding ;)).

But I find it strange you say [B]Geno's method is not to go public as a first resort with criticism of his players[/B]

Geno will criticize a player quite quickly if the skill is something critical to the team. Geno had plenty to say (in a humorous way of course) about Nika's fouling.  Heck, Geno let the world know he is not super happy about Paige's pass first approach when it stifles her aggressiveness. Geno did mention that Nika has to be willing to shoot open 3's her freshman year and through hard work, she got better doing that and I am sure that was his biggest criticism

The real wrinkle we are hearing now is that Nika has to do better finishing around the basket and in the mid range. I am guessing this was not made so public since Nika had enough improvements on her list to work through as a freshman and sophomore and now she is ready (and now very much needed) to take the next step. So I am sure Nika will work very  hard to fill in this latest part to her game
