Paige breaks down KK’s game (you’ve got see this)

Attitude is very important for a pg. Muhl plays with a Thunderdome attitude.

Enjoyed watching her get to the basket. Finally a point guard who looks like an SC point guard.

DT wanted to wear #1 at Uconn, and Geno said an emphatic NO - it is a team game and we don't have a #1.

She first wanted to wear 00.

This was a discussion here, back in 2015, LINK HERE (Credit to DobbsRover2)

"From Geno's book "In Pursuit of Perfection"

When freshman Diana Taurasi asked him if she could wear No. 00 at UConn: "I ask Diana what number she wants to wear and she says 00. I tell her, you want to wear 00? Then you're an idiot. Nobody wears 00 in college. That's just a way of drawing attention to yourself. Pick a real number. "Then she thinks about it and says, 'I'll wear No. 1.' Now I'm getting upset. Nobody is wearing No. 1 here. You haven't done enough to earn the right to wear No. 1. Now she's ticked off. She's giving me some song and dance about why she's good enough for it and I'm not budging. "I tell her, 'Look at No. 3.' She asks why and I say because if you do this right, if you do what I tell you to do, then you are going to be the Babe Ruth of women's basketball.'""

Paige had exceptional court vision and was a great shooter when she arrived at UConn. Geno realized she was the best shooter by far he had on the team and started to use her as his 2 guard. She was great at coming off screens for her shot or making great passes on the roll. Geno had to teach Paige to let herself be great and step up in the moment.

KK will get some minutes and Geno will coach her up for the role he thinks will help the team win. He likes layups and 3 point shooters. Who doesn't. If she can penetrate and create shots for others and hit the three and play tough defense she will get on the court.
