Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 2517594, member: 250"] I don't read every thread, so sue me if this is already here. Geno does his Patton speech to the Frosh: [URL="http://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-sp-uconn-women-follow-20180110-story.html"]Geno Auriemma Wants Inconsistent Reserves To Show They Are Unafraid[/URL] Auriemma told his players, “They're your age. I can't get you guys four minutes in a basketball game. Something is wrong with that picture. So until you guys start being less afraid — I said you need to pay more attention to what other people do in the world. The kid threw the pass to win the national championship. Even if he had overthrown it, doesn't matter because it took a lot of guts to throw that pass. And even if the kid would have dropped it, doesn't matter — the kid was wide open, he actually ran a great route. So, see, guys are not afraid no matter what age they are. You guys are afraid. And as long as you act like that, you're not going to play. Not that you don't have the ability to play, the talent, all that stuff.” Man has a point ... maybe a point and a half. Yeah, it's in Nan's News, but it's worthy of talk. He is right. So how do Geno et al convince freshman to Go For It? Like: You came here not to be great? [/QUOTE]
