Cori Close is a class act. No wonder why Geno I so willing to help whenever she asks.

Totally class act!

Cori Close sounds like Geno....( very different from Brenda Frese)
How much does it cost to get the press a microphone?

Not only is Cori a class act, but she gets it! She understands what it takes to get to the top and stay there. She understands Excellence.

AGREED !!!

Glad to hear Monique is going to focus for the next week, and maybe let Cori coach her since it appears she may NOT know everything !!

 

[mhshuskies]

AGREED !!!

Totally agree: "no morale victory, we expected to win", "we will learn in our hearts, coaches included", "you know why I know we will be OK?, because we have a point guard that takes ownership like that"

There is an awful lot to like about this team and program, not a surprise to see them in FF.

"That's the biggest thing that came out of this game," Huskies coach Geno Auriemma said. "We got Pheesa going without Lou."

He's the boss, so ....

No. 1 UConn routs No. 5 UCLA 78-60 for 39th road win in row

As for Lou: "She was very much in the game without physically being there," Gabby Williams said. "We could hear her on the bench."

UCLA Presser: Jordan Canada was one very chastened player.

I just love Cori Close..one of my fave women's bball coaches

What was in the sheet of paper that Close placed in front ot Canada? When Jordin first spoke, her eyes were glued to the sheet.

Stand up Brian Regan's latest Netflix offering has a pretty funny bit on post game pressers and why there isn't a mic on the people posing the questions. Worth a watch, if you're looking for a sports related chuckle or two.

When Geno finally decides to retire the logical place to look for a replacement will be on the Uconn coaching staff. But if they look outside for a replacement Cori Close should be in the mix to replace him.

I'm pretty sure that's Kennedy Burke. Not Monique Billings.

Most likely game stats.

(UCLA)

This is the Postgame press conf. for their game against Baylor.

 

[LasVegasYank]

At some future point, I want to hear Geno say "we win because we have Megan Walker and they don't."

 

[BroadwayVa]

Most likely game stats.

A few things to take away from the Game and Press conf: Class coach. She is smart and do the Geno thing: take from other coaches things that works for your program (Geno admits doing that). Canada, got my pregame usual opponent beating but she is a super great kid and a competing kid. The kind you don't want to see lose, unless against UConn. She apparently believes in Vince Lombardi. UCLA shall be a beast to beat at years end.

Good choice but not sure UCLA will like her to go.
She was born in Milpitas, CA, played 4 years in UC Santa Barbara, and worked at UC Santa Barbara and FSU before UCLA.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

"It's the discipline...it's the discipline of the habits of excellence every single time..." Quite a turn of phrase from Coach Close. That will stick with me for a while. She did a very fine job of acknowledging UConn without slighting, but challenging her team in that news conference.
