Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2608045, member: 6620"] As you can well guess, there was a whole lot of chatter on McGraw's Bench on this yesterday...it drew way more than the usual traffic. Rather that quote a number of these, I'm just going to add a few responses. - Per the "name thing." As Orangutan pointed out here, MM didn't tweet this; rather, SB Tribune writer (who found himself quoted on ESPN) Anthony Anderson did. I've heard a lot about this, but have one question floating around in my brain: Given that Anderson tweeted a 140-character blurb, did MM refer to Durr by name in a part that didn't make the tweet? Or was MM referring to his question in which he referenced Durr and she, in turn, just continued with it. Would be interesting to find out (particularly if so). If not, certainly don''t think it would've hurt MM to reference Asia's name...as someone pointed out, the Irish were probably trying to recruit Durr, too, and -- geesh -- Asia and Arike know each other pretty well! - I've written down that if this really bothered Coach Walz, one would've remembered that phones are also used for talking. And that they'd probably seen each other more than a few times in the hotels/arena in Greensboro. - He claimed that he was sticking up for his kids, but he managed to take that focus away from them. And, in doing so, there's that ambush thing. Geesh. - As per the numbers. During the halftime interview, someone asked MM something to the effect what else her team could do and she said "Keep track of #11," which would make sense considering Carter had 3 three's at that point. She later on gave full credit -- by name -- to Louisville's point guard. - Re: McCallie, UConn Cat said it all very well. Plus, something that I've never dug about Coach P is her raking her own kids over the coals in such a public manner, time after time. - Lastly, I think MM and Walz are not what you'd call compatible fits. MM said in a recent article on Mabrey and Ogunbowale that she and Marina are alike in that they think people understand what they're thinking (but not really saying). Walz over talks. They'd probably both like to get this back. [/QUOTE]
