Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3160254, member: 730"] I think the LV fans were just looking for an excuse to hate her. "Sorry/not sorry" isn't a taunt. To me says that there are both positive and negative aspects to her leaving and it's time to move on. But to a lot of LV fans it's a black and white world and they represent white and UConn is the epicenter of evil black, using all sorts of despicable tactics. The ironic aspect to that is that their late sainted coach lived in the gray area of NCAA rules for her entire coaching career. The long list of LV violations at the NCAA, although minor, attest to that. There are several recruiting rules that were instituted solely because of Pat's "hard sell" approach. Free trips to the wcbb HOF, picture sessions at a recruit's high school and expensive scrap books as mementos of the official visit are recent but back when she was new she didn't hesitate to recruit players under scholarship at other schools. Two such "transfers" by AA's resulted in Pat winning her 1st title. That was a huge reason behind the current transfer rules. I've no problem with my coach doing whatever they can to win as long as it's within the rules. But unlike some, I won't act "holier than thou" when another program makes the same effort. [/QUOTE]
