Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2475374, member: 3535"] I tend to believe anyone still holding onto Parker being on this team is either a non-UCONN fan that doesn't understand team sports, or it would pain me to say this-- a UCONN fan that doesn't understand what team basketball is. I'm not saying anyone in this thread fits the description. Because I get you can be angry about the past and that is the point. But for those non-UCONN fans who think Parker should be selected on, these are probably the type of fans that look primarily at "talent" without a clear understanding of team concept probably because they've been "up-against-it" for so long. - - - And live by the words "if only our college team had more talent . . ." And for any UCONN fan that thinks Parker should be selected without even trying out-- that would be mind-boggling. I hope none of my fellow UCONN fans would be that callous/naive to believe putting out a team - other than for an all-star game - is about "all talent" without having to go through tryouts and working on playing with new teammates. If any UCONN fan believes that and has had the pleasure of watching UCONN these many years and reading how Geno does things-- then they'll never understand the team concept. Because they can only view/appreciate the game as "individual talent," and not how a team works. [/QUOTE]
