Post Game Press Conference Louisville and UConn.

[eebmg]

Fantastic Presser

1) I did not know that it is not Geno who does not want the regional net cut down but a vote by the players/

2) Based on what Lou was physically and mentally yesterday, it was a miracle she was able to turn it around

3) Last 15 seconds, he discusses the 101 year old UConn fan. Than at the end, wants his address so he can send him something.

Maybe, going incognito as @Woof 101

Geno was very emotional but had a grip on his emotions so tightly that he seemed somber at times. The last question brought some out. I bet he shed a couple tears today

I think he was teary; when the game ended he walked to the middle of the court with his fingers to his eyes, it was beautiful to watch. Best game I’ve watched in person, you could feel the energy the entire game.

I think this year has reawakened the joy (and sometimes agony) of teaching for Geno. He's had so many good, experienced players for so long, that it was more like refining and elevating, but this year has been more basic teaching. That's been my takeaway, particularly with his answer to the last question.

Christyn: "I love you, man." Recruiting material right there!

Have a lot of respect to Waltz...a great classy coach who I doubt many of us would not want him to coach at UConn after Geno retires...

8 future WNBA players on the 2015-16 team. 5 future Olympians on the 2000-01 team.

Recruiting material: Lou with Holly on the court. Holly asks her what it's like to be going to the 12th straight Final 4. " It's amazing just to be part of this program. Just to wear this name on our chests everyday. You know you're part of something special and they've created something amazing here and you just want to play as long as you can." She's pretty good off the cuff what?

Thought that was a pretty big comment. Especially since a lot of High School Talent chose other schools over UConn this year.

I liked what Geno said about Sveta. He said she couldn't make the FF so flew in from Moscow for the game. Geno took her in to the locker room and told the team this is what it means to play for this program.

Like the flip flopper who went to Texas and exited in the first round?

Class Act!

I pride myself in knowing all things Husky related. Who might that be that changed their mind?

You're going to face palm yourself: Charli Collier.

Wowzer! Totally face slapping myself right now...

Thanks for all the links to the NCAA and locker room coach and players. Keeping it with the players:

I love what Phesa has to say, and
I love what Megan has to say, and
I love what Lou has to say, and
I love what Chrystal has to say, and
I love what what Christin has to say, and
I love what Olivia has to say, and
(if interviewed) I would love what the others have to say.

UConn, where you grow up to be a wonderful woman and where dreams come true

 

[VA Huskie]

It was so genuine and spontaneous that I teared up.

Me too...

 

[VAMike23]

I just love her personality

Sweet as molasses!!!

Did he say this in the official presser or the other video? (sheepeshly multitasking a bit)

Why after games does Lou always look like she's just gone 15 rounds with Mike Tyson?

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I've slept on this comment and still woke up wanting to say it. I was very impressed with Sam Fuehring throughout the game, but I was more impressed with her in the press conference. Howard Megdal, God bless him, 10 minutes out of this great Round of 8 game chooses, highly inappropriately, to ask Sam about the WNBA (he's been flogging his own gossip about the draft for weeks) and Sam politely but firmly blew him off. I loved it. Well done Sam.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I agree and Kudos to @BRS24 . But I understand an internal memo is circulating at ESPN about how Other is now a verboten word on air. It frankly hi-lites the all to often tendency of ESPN to pick one or two players or themes and absolutely grind your ears off with them. Yeah, it's easy, it's lazy and it's just bad sports' journalism.
