Message: [QUOTE="Redux, post: 4280082, member: 11089"] I suspect, strongly, that if Geno wanted to be perfectly honest, he would have said something like: these very talented and hard-working players put in every bit of effort they could, but they simply weren't able to give to the team, consistently, what I thought they were capable of. That would have been regarded as taking a shot. He was probably too sick to finesse his way around it (probably using self-depreciation) so he just didn't go there I had resolved not to be in the least bit negative about the farewells, because I love the effort these three put in, the obstacles they overcame and the great performances they gave at times. But if Geno praises every very good UConn player as if they were great, it demeans what he has to say about the giants. And core of the Geno schtick (often not obvious within the blarney) is truth. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
