Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 2780783, member: 250"] I come off a trip to find this not posted (apparently): [URL="http://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-sp-diana-taurasi-happy-to-be-in-connecticut20180712-story.html"]Former UConn Star Diana Taurasi Happy To Be Back In Connecticut[/URL] The Ballhog Chick really has the gift of gab. “It’s just not a secret, he has a formula to bring out the best in you,” Taurasi said. “He really has mastered the mental and the physical side of how to become a great basketball player. It’s almost broken down to a science and he’s got the formula and he shares it with everyone, but not everyone wants to hear it. When it comes from him it comes with a different meaning, with a different force, and it forces you to look in the mirror and really ask yourself if you want to go through that.” I suspect the Geno DT bond is among the strongest. "Thursday night, Taurasi and Auriemma met up again, 14 years after she played her last game for UConn. With Auriemma no longer her coach, their relationship has evolved. They won’t be in a gym, Auriemma yelling instructions and Taurasi poking fun at him. This time, they’ll be on Auriemma’s boat floating along a river and catching up over dinner. “I didn’t even know there was water in Connecticut,” Taurasi said in her typical joking fashion." [/QUOTE]
