Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2686358, member: 26"] Come on. You keep saying the same stuff over and over in different ways. First, the "UCONN way" has zero to do with transfers. Geno has a LONG history of taking transfers starting at least with Rita Williams back in 1995 - that was 10 years into his UCONN career and 23 years ago. So let's stop with the pretending that Geno has never done that, or that somehow he's suddenly changing the UCONN way that we supposedly "pound our chests" about. The UCONN way has to do with a coaching philosophy that looks for kids with great character, who are good students, who play hard, who want to win, and who want to embrace the team concept of basketball. It has zero to do with UCONN accepting transfers. Second, I guarantee you Geno was surprised that Stevens announced she was leaving early and he had no contingency plan for losing an expected starter for next season. This means we are thin in the post, hence the interest in Howard. Third, Coombs is suffering from Deep Vein Thrombosis. At this time no one has any idea how serious it is, if she will be able to play next year, or if she will be able to play basketball again. We all hope for the best for her. However, if she's not good to go, UCONN's 1st guard off the bench MAY end up being Molly Bent. Geno would be foolish not to explore options. Fourth, KLS and Pheesa will be seniors next season. Geno wants to do everything in his power to help THEM go out with a NC. He has 11. He'd love for them to get #2. I believe you are a more recent follower of UCONN basketball - not a graduate of UCONN - and maybe more a fan of WCBB than a fan of UCONN, but to propound the idea that we are hypocritical (in this instance) is unfair...
