Message: [QUOTE="huskeynut, post: 4804205, member: 750"] Human nature demands we have answers. When answers are not forthcoming or the answer you not the one you want, it is time to point the finger and blame someone. The girls play too many minutes each game. Geno has to manage their minutes better. That was a mantra for some last year. Pretty difficult task when you are down to 7 scholarship players that can dress for a game like last year. S & C coach is not doing her job. Doesn't UConn look into this stuff? Conditioning is set forth and the girls are to follow it. It's called player responsibility. Doesn't UConn look into this stuff? First, you don't know what UConn staff does. And the staff and program have no obligation to tell you. Pointing fingers for blame is childish. Geno needs to hire younger assistant coaches that can relate to this new generation. Good quality coaching/ teaching knows no age limit. Good coaching can relate to this new generation. I think Geno has way more knowledge on this. Let him do his job. Then we have the Geno needs to change the offense, the defense because things aren't working. How do you know what he is doing in practice? Answer - you don't. Before the season started we lost Jana. Then Ayanna has knee surgery and recovery is taking longer, according to some. Caroline is still having difficulties from concussions. That's 3 down you planned on. Then Azzi is done with an ACL. The only one Geno knew about and had time to alter his game plan was Jana. The rest are within the first month of the season. I will agree with the aspect that too many girls playing basketball year round is not good at all. In fact, any middle school, high school athlete limiting themselves to one sport is not healthy. The philosophy of playing different sports, fall, winter & spring, has been around since I was in high school. I played football, basketball then winter track in the winter and track in the spring. Our oldest grandson is a freshman in high school. He played football this fall. Next up is basketball and winter baseball. The spring is baseball. And BTW - my high school class has already had our 50th reunion. People need to sit back and let things take their course. [/QUOTE]
