Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4132916, member: 3834"] It’s truly unbelievable to me how many posters seem to secretly despise Geno? Some of these posters find fault with everything he does and never seem to acknowledge any of the good things. Now clearly the team is facing some problems right now. Some are due to a spate of injuries while others may be due to a variety of reasons such as Geno himself, Shea’s absence, complacency, recruiting issues, players change of attitude over the past 12-15 years, and simply lack of toughness/desire. It’s certainly possible he may have to change some things and that some may be his fault. Certainly, the buck stops at his desk! However, let’s not forget that he has led this team to thirteen consecutive final fours! I would say that gives him a bit of a pass for losing one game (no matter how horribly they played) while four top players are injured, one of which is clearly one of the best players in UConn history, the acknowledged linchpin of this team, one, her main backup, one, a no. 1 recruit that many have said is better than Paige, and finally, the most athletic player on the team who may be the best defender as well! How about we give him some time to come to grips with the situation and hopefully find a way to get this team back on track before burying him with constant criticism? All the “Negative Nellies” can obviously say what they wish. I’ll give him what he has unquestionably earned, my full confidence that he will find a way to fix this! I’m not against fair criticism but find some of what I’m reading to be mean spirited and almost gloating. Furthermore, if somehow he were to prove unable to fix it, I would still be grateful and respectful to a man who (with CD) has given us three decades at the top of the mountain without scandal, major controversy, and always with honesty and class!
