Message: [QUOTE="msf22b, post: 4255799, member: 656"] During Introduction remarks: [I]COACH AURIEMMA: I can honestly say that, given the kind of season we've had, I thought I'd pretty much seen it all. But this was a rather new experience for me.[/I] Asked in the question period to explain what he meant COACH AURIEMMA: [I]When I said it's a new experience, I mean I have a certain vision of how the game is played. And for 30-some years we played the game that way. And tonight we didn't play the game that way, not even close. ______________[/I] Have we not been asking the same questions among ourselves, so much so that management feels the necessity to start a "positive" thread. I wish there had been follow-ups to pin him down about exactly what he meant... -Was he speaking of some of our ideals of "beautiful basketball?" -or competent basketball? -or making layups -of more typical movement I would guess he wasn't too upset about the D...it was the offense that surely concerned him. It would be great from the horses mouth for him to be requested to explain his concept of exactly what UConn basketball stands for. We've been trying to define it among ourselves for years and its relative importance without much success. This game obviously shook him to the core...another poster noted his seeming exhaustion, though he seemed to have recovered his composure for the question period. Surely there have been other "bizarre" games...the NCAA game at Stanford where no one could score comes to mind. But I would love for him to give a seminar on exactly what UConn BB means to him.
