Hard to read much into a very short segment, but Stewie certainly does not seem to be her jovial self, and the fact that she thought Geno was sending her/Tuck a message while Geno claimed he was not and even told them so is also interesting.
I didn't read it that way. I don't think her response could have been any better. She put the blame squarely on her shoulders, very mature on her part.It does seem like Stewie is distracted
Stewie and Tuck's benching had nothing to do with the guards getting them the ball. It had everything to do with a perceived lack of energy and effort at tipoff (for more than one game). Your energy and effort has everything to do with you. The coach will address the guards if they are not doing their job. Stewie and Tuck control how hard they sprint during a fast break, how hard they post up or go after rebounds, how hard they dig in on defense.She depends on the guards getting her the ball the right way. She was out of kilter for a reason...
Yes she was- it was obvious. Gd observation.Holding back tears?

In the clip accompanying Fuller's story? You have to be kidding.Yes she was- it was obvious. Gd observation.
One of the problems associated with the AAC is the travel. Stewie had bags on her bags. Hope she had some fun and some good sleep after practice.

The Geno quote is pretty much how I perceive Brianna. Basically, in discussing the best players in the game, last year or this year, you always mention her along with the usual suspects from other schools. But I think, that unlike the other players, who are achieving their greatness playing at about 95% of their potential, Brianna is in the conversation while playing about 70% of her abilities. IMHO of course. This is what is so frustrating, I think, for Geno. There is so much more she is capable of. I don't know exactly what ticked off Geno for the benching, but I think it had to be an accumulation of things, not just her 5 minute contribution to the Memphis game. I trust both Geno and BS, MT and KS will make the best of it going forward.The best and most surprising quote is from the end of the article.
Geno: "Nobody in history of academics or athletics has ever gotten less out of their abilities than me from the time I was in 10th grade to today. I hate when I see it in other people and I am going to prevent it to the best of my ability."
As usual for him, this is at least an exaggeration. But it may be somewhat accurate from the standpoint of academics and personal athletic performance (as opposed to coaching athletes, where he has clearly made the most of his abilities). He probably could have been a better student and a better basketball player if he had had a "Coach Auriemma" to bench him when he mailed it in (which he says he did rather frequently, maybe even typically), while also showing him how to do the right thing instead.
She was extremely emotional and embarrassed- and that isn't a knock on Stewie by any stretch. That's the way I saw it. She was a monster last night!In the clip accompanying Fuller's story? You have to be kidding.
