NYT Article: After an Unsure Start, Gabby Williams Soars at UConn

I'm convinced Gabby wouldn't have hit such heights elsewhere. Holly would have probably run her off the team.

Every other college coach in America would have viewed her as a guard, which is how she viewed herself when she arrived in Storrs. They would have pushed her to perfect her 3-point shot and nagged her about her ball handling. It would never occur to them to play her as a forward. She might have become a fairly average 5-11 guard who got a few more rebounds than most of her peers.

It took a combination of Geno's basketball genius and Gabby's athletic gifts (and her willingness to trust him as he took her out of her comfort zone) to make Gabby the All-American Forward emerge from the chrysalis.
