Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4758459, member: 3535"] So, if she wasn't the most consistent on the team but only as a forsh what was your point about her vs Nika? Nika isn't a frosh so how is it that you are tying KK being consistent as a frosh vs less minutes for Nika? I think you are taking Geno's comments way way too literal- and for someone like Geno known to exaggerate a lot - way too much literal. As Digger replied to you, the Texas coach had an emphasis at some point to deny Nika the ball this pst year. And you could listen to the presser from Dawn after UConn vs South Carolina in which she stated one of the keys for South Carolina late was that they were denying Nika the ball. Geno's comment of "Get out of the way," in context is in sharp contrast to the opposing hall of fame coaches deliberately trying/looking to "deny Nika the ball." That's why the 5 on 4 comment you made seems more like "dislike Nika Muhl," rather than reality. You specifically said she doesn’t need to be defended yet HOF coaches during games you watched are actively working to deny her the ball. That is not in realiity "get out of the way . . .". Also, in regard to this summer, IMO there has to be an understanding that UCONN was playing exhibition games. Exhibition. Exhibition. Please let's not carried away with Exhibition. Anyhow I do think KK will get decent minutes but I believe a lot of it will be due to Ducharme being so questionable. And if KK's offense is truly very very good then during games in which UCONN is winning comfortably in which they could rest Paige and/or Azzi -- then Nika could pass to a player like KK (and Nika can then get out of the way :)) too in which they both get minutes.
