Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 3907000, member: 6488"] Yesterday we were asked what would make us happy. This morning I found another reason. On the front page of the Washington Post sports section was a long, laudatory article about Minnesota Slim and her impact on her team and on the game. [URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/03/20/paige-bueckers-uconn/']How UConn’s Paige Bueckers is breaking college basketball - The Washington Post[/URL] While most UConn fans know the details of the emerging Bueckers' legend, the Post column quoted Geno as saying that Buckets was "not right" (in the head, I presume). Coach was referring to Slim's insistence that he give her [I]exactly[/I] the playing time to which she was "entitled" regardless of the need for her in the game. Emerson avers in "Self-Reliance" that "to be great is to be misunderstood." So, if greatness is contingent on being different or "not right," that's fine. The root of creativity, it seems, is some special ability not available to everyone. We'll take it. [/QUOTE]
