We're fortunate this week to have Dr. Sigmund Freud available to comment on the USF game and on Coach Auriemma's mindset after viewing “Total Access.” Stroking his goatee, Dr. Freud regards Geno's tough and sometimes crude method of communication (“You stink!”) as generally understood by his players. They know that he's just trying to extract the full-juice from them and accept his
subtlety as a blessing in disguise. Coach doesn't only criticize, he shows them what he wants done. Sometimes the ladies pout and resist (see Bre), but, in the end, they acknowledge that their experience at UConn was transformative (and they get all those trophies, accolades, and invites to the WNBA). So: the Professor (Freud) regards the Professor (Geno) as (mostly) sane.
Regarding Dr. Freud's comments about Female Hysteria, he points to Kim's jacket-toss, but acknowledges that Bobby's chair-toss was equally “nuts.” (He refused to say anything about Brenda.)
As for the game vs. the Bulls, the good Professor believes that Coach Fernandez will come to the same conclusion as last year: “I knew we might lose [first game], but I didn't think it would be that bad.” Look for a Husky blow-out and for Jose to head for the couch.
