Ok

you mean they miss UConn fouls also not just the opponents

Not necessarily fouls.........I'd call them "incidental" contacts..........

Tony Bozella is a fixture at SH. But I’ve often wondered what would happen if a smart AD gave a coach like Bozella the opportunity to be a HC at a P4 school, with all the financial and recruiting advantages that a school like SH just can’t compete with.

Maybe he's loving the relative lack of stress he has at SH. He gets to be as much of an educator as coach, and most of the great coaches are truly educators in all facets of college life and life in general. With all that NIL and portal stress and nonsense, I'm sure there are a lot of great coaches who would rather be in a less-pressured environment. That isn't to say these coaches don't want to win, they might just have a bigger picture in mind for the vast majority of kids who have no intention of going pro.

I’m sure you are correct. The other thing is that most WBB programs that are in search of a new HC are looking for someone who is young, energetic and female. While I love Tony Bozella, he kind of strikes you as a somewhat frumpy guy who’s about to turn 60.

Some thoughts on the Seton Hall game:

• It feels like we are in the home stretch to the Big Dance. While the top teams in the P4 conferences will be battling each other furiously over the next few weeks, UConn has the relative luxury to focus on polishing up their execution, solidifying the rotation and getting everyone healthy for the post season.
• I keep finding new things to like about Sarah. Over the past two games Sarah has demonstrated one of the prettiest baby-hooks you’ll see in wbb.
• After the HUGE win at SC, you might have expected a bit of a letdown by the Huskies against the Pirates, and sure enough, the Huskies were not particularly sharp to start the game against an aggressive Seton Hall team.
• Surprisingly, UConn really needed Paige to take over the game, particularly in the 1st half, which she did, leading the Huskies with 23 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, while passing DT, the GOAT, on the all-time UConn scoring list.
• Paige has been getting banged around a lot this season. In the last 2 games she has come up limping 3 times: once at SC, earlier in the game vs SH and then right before the half as she hobbled off the court directly into the locker room. We all got to hold our breath until Paige came out for the 2nd half and buried a mid-range jumper.
• Everyone on UConn plays hard. But Ashlynn has another gear. My goodness does she hustle all over the court.
• Aubrey with yet another really good game at mom & dad's alma mater.
• Not the prettiest game. But who am I to quibble over a 42 pt UConn victory on the road. GO HUSKIES!

Love that baby hook, Sarah keeps surprising me. Ash has hit some great shots in crucial times, what really sticks out as you focused on is her hustle, defense and going after rebounds, Geno has awakened a ball hawk.

Just wanted to add that UCONN frequently is the victim of performances that are anomalies for individual players...
Last night there was Lops. Coming into the game she was shooting 22% from 3; last night 3 for 4 (75%)...

I did a few years ago, and no P4 schools have called me about their open coaching jobs since.

But she's been practicing a lot over the last couple of weeks.

I have dim memories of turning sixty. That was a very long time ago. Dwight Eisenhower was President, TVs were mostly b&w, and, as my kids remind me, dinosaurs stalked the Earth.

God Bless... turning 60 in 1960 and you're still here?

a lot of the time with the moving screen its not the screener's fault. The person who the screen is being set for tries to use it before the screen is set causing a moving screen.

Or goes by the screener with so much space the screener tends to shift into the space and is called for a moving screen.

My Opinion. If you don’t rub/touch your screener on the way by and your screener gets called for a foul. . . It’s probably your fault.
