Message: [QUOTE="Buzzyboy, post: 2051061, member: 1364"] I think there's a massive amount of truth to your statement. I think that Geno along with Chris and the rest of his staff have always demanded his players strive for perfection, though we all know that is unattainable and in doing so, his teams have performed at an appreciably higher level consistently than has other programs. Some UConn teams have been better than others, based on the individual abilities of the players on that respective team but in reaching for perfection, he has made his players better than they would have ever thought they could be. What I like and Chris is largely responsible, is how much better they become, as people. They recruit good players who are nice young women and give them wonderful life lessons off the court and great social opportunities and voila, they come out of UConn much better able to face the world and life than they probably ever thought when they initially enrolled in Storrs. The family environment Geno has helped provide gives them a sense of home away from home and that has even helped with team chemistry in games. Geno did more with less when he first started at UConn and with success he's been able to recruit some amazing skilled young woman who have helped build a legacy that will probably never be approached, much less surpassed.
