Message: [QUOTE="rvwsleep, post: 1972098, member: 3775"] It appears as though Geno violated one of his own tenets as verbalized in the clip you provided. Geno - " You never want to go after somebody's heart, somebody's core ... " The whole question of the KLS televised admonishing has made me rethink my own feelings on the matter. My initial emotional reaction upon seeing Lou in an apparent state of despair was that of an unnecessary piece of reality TV that made me uncomfortable by just watching it. Then I began to think about my reaction and what that meant. Would I have reacted, emotionally, the same way if it was coach Ollie addressing one of his (male) players the way that Geno did to Lou ? It all honesty ? NO. I'm sure my emotional reaction would have been quite different. After some thought on the entire situation I've come to the conclusion that while it wasn't necessary (maybe even gratuitous) to zoom in on Lou in the locker room, Geno can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. It's the price to pay for the results everyone wants. And that's regardless if it's the men's or women's team. Though even Geno makes mistakes and I wonder how he would reconcile his admonishing of Lou with his statement of not going after somebody's heart ? I don't think he regrets the dress down of Lou because if he did it would have probably ended up the the cutting room floor. (Now there's an antiquated term) [/QUOTE]
