USA: Griner adds new dimension

[pap49cba]

“Geno is a great coach,” Griner said. “He's a tough coach. He pushes you. He expects nothing but the best and more. I learned that over years in watching him coach and being in practice with him, so I'm just happy to be here with him and be able to be coached by him.”

Thanks - there is also an 'additional quotes' link on that page that is well work reading.

Haha - DT included Maya in her comments when asked about the young players on the team, and qualified it, "she’s still pretty young."

"He pushes you."

And at 6'8" she's hard to push!

I am excited about BG being pushed by Geno. I think that we may see BG perform at her highest level ever under Geno's guidance.

Would agree if she had the full month of prep the non-finals players had. I think she is going to learn a lot, but may not be able to take it into her game in such a short period.

I've always said, a little bit of Geno goes a long way. He will teach her more in a couple of weeks than she can imagine. I think he will pick up on nuances that maybe no other coach will detect. It will benefit him down the road when the Olympics roll around.

Geno's been thinking about Brittney for a long time. He already knows what he wants to accomplish...
