Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3087674, member: 7511"] I have a different take on this. Geno loves post players who can play out on the floor and spread the offense, as well as playing strong in the paint. Think Stewie and EDD, who Geno finally got the opportunity to coach in the Olympics. When Z first got to UConn, she had a tendency to float around on the perimeter. Geno & CD worked hard to expand her game to also encompass post play. The problem for Z is that she fell into a season long shooting slump from the arc, so that by the end of the season there was really no reason for her to hang around the perimeter. There is no doubt in my mind that, had Z returned to UConn for another season, she would have been a far more complete player, with the ability to play both in the paint and out on the perimeter. At the end of the day, I think Z’s decision was more about wanting to get on to the pros and earn a living then any perceived problem with Geno wanting her to be a traditional Center. [/QUOTE]
