Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5289385, member: 7511"] Yes, once upon a time Geno was all about defense. Every game in the OBE was a war played in a phone booth. Tough defense is still part of UConn’s DNA. But Geno’s greatest ability is that he learns and evolves. It really started with the Stewie years when he had 5 players on the court who could all shoot the 3. UConn spread the floor, ran their motion offense and pushed tempo on both offense and defense. If I recall, Geno spent some time with Brad Stevens and the Celtics, learning the nuances of both the 4-out & 5-out offensive sets. Obviously, Geno needs to continue to recruit the kind of players who can execute his offense. This past year it all came together. [/QUOTE]
