Message: [QUOTE="TCC Kid, post: 4311466, member: 11583"] Bless you T@TonyC. You are a cheerleader even in the off season. I agree and disagree. Agree--for the last 40 years Geno has beaten teams with big centers. Geno has effectively used a 4 guard offense/defense and often, but not always, it has worked for him. Geno, has won where other coaches have failed. Yet, Geno is human, not God like in Basketball, and he has LOST some important games. I must add, however, he has not ever, in my opinion, been out coached. Muffet got lots of press for beating him--but even that year when it counted he beat ND. Now Dawn has beaten Geno --no, she didn't, her team did. Without 3 players on that floor Uconn would have won handily, even with a depleted team. Having said that: Even Geno admits you can't teach Height. Often in WCBB height is not also blessed with talent When it is with a good guard or 2--you will lose against them. That was Dawn's team this year. Like it or not Uconn, with the kids they have can go far but they cannot go all the way with out a decent big weighty center. Obviously nothing is set in stone, but to beat the odds Uconn needs a decent defensive center--STOKES comes to miind. Bless you TonyC. I will not argue with you because you love MY team as much as I do. But my rose glasses are clouded.. Thank you TonyC.. [/QUOTE]
