Message: [QUOTE="PhillyCoach, post: 2969364, member: 6136"] It has been clear for years, but I did not understand it fully until now. Geno takes care of today! Remember, tomorrow never comes, it is always today. IMHO, He does what he has to do to win today's game. He does not spend much, if any time, worrying about the next game. He does not spend much time, if any, thinking about Next Year's line-up. Since Stewie, etc. left the team Geno's focus is "it will all work out when the time comes." Somebody will step up and get the job done. Many posters thought doomsday had arrived when the big 3 left. Two final 4 last shot losses is not quite doomsday. This year is a continuation of Geno's today philosophy. Will Ono or another bench player step up? Geno knows that if no one steps up --He has the best 5 players on his team and they can play 40 minutes each. Injuries and fouls be damned. That's the deal and it has some downside, but it is not a bad hand. In fact, I think Geno is pretty happy knowing he has the best starting 5 in the land. One note - many coaches have the next game, or the playoff season or next season in mind at all times. Yes, I have to sub. I have to develop. I have to prepare this kid for next year. Is it wrong? Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't. Can UConn win the title game with 2 subs playing over 15 minutes each? I don't think so, and IMHO Geno does not think so either. [/QUOTE]
