Typical Genoism

[Phil]

After the game, we were waiting around to say hello to some of the players. Four girls joined the group, hoping to see some of the team. They were in high school, basketball players, had gone to the last Final Four, and were clearly excited, to the point of being giddy, about being in the presence of UConn. While we were waiting, they took turns getting their picture taken with Danny.

Geno walked out, heading to an interview. One of the girls screwed up her courage, and yelled out, "I love you Geno!"

Without missing a beat, he responded, "That's because you don't know me"

Then one of the girls got a call from their ride, which cleanly indicated the ride was leaving, so they didn't get a chance to see any of the players. But they will have a small story to tell.

It rubs off too. In the interview after the Rutgers game when they interviewed Hartley, they asked about her jammed thumb and how it didn't seem to affect her shooting. She agreed and added, coach had told her it shouldn't be a problem because she can't dribble with her left hand anyway.

I saw that. Really cool answer. Its amazing that they can laugh at themselves. Watching these young ladies off the court really adds value to this team.

Is "watanabe" connected to the WW2 Japanese prison tyrant in "Unbroken"?

I keep thinking that a few or many years down the road when the coaching tenure ends, we're all going to be saying, "Geno, we hardly knew you." Just a quiet unassuming guy.

It's a name like smith. Wasn't he the villian in the matrix?
