Message: [QUOTE="TCC Kid, post: 4132268, member: 11583"] Geno, was emotional disheveled. A loss he shouldn't have had hit him hard. Geno, for nearly 40 years was said to be "the Great Motivator", The Greatest Coach, The Great Recruiter. Some of that is true. Geno recruits heavily from the 1 to 10 ranked recruits, a few in the 20 to 40's, maybe one in those above 40. Many of the teams in the USA have never seen a Number 1 to 10 ranked recruits. Each of those recruited by Geno have played Womens/girls basketball for year. Often they have been prolific scorers. I doubt many have been decent defenders. Why then do some kids look like this is the first time they have seen a basketball. Player, play, shoot, score, pass, defend. From 6 years old to 67 that the game, it hasn't changed in that respect. It's not hard, it just takes energy and MOTIVATION. I repeat a phrase Geno used often in the past, and I here recently: Great players make good coaches look great. Sue,DT,Maya, Stewie, Tina, Dolson, KML, Swin, Asia, and Paige, the list is long. They made Geno look GREAT. ONO, Evina, Edwards, the current team is made up of basketball players. Paige is injured, not available. Geno, the Master motivator Great Coach now must,with his staff, prove he is all that has been written about him on the Boneyard and Motivate this group of women (they aren't a team,. Go back to the day before Paige set foot on campus, and COACH this team to become a close of the STANDARD Uconn Women's TEAM. The BUCK STOPS with GENO. NO ONE ELSE can fix this--only GENO. [/QUOTE]
