Message: [QUOTE="BostonCanuck, post: 4955646, member: 6931"] It's entirely possible that the play was not executed as drawn up. Unfortunately, we're never going to know. None of the reporters other than Schnell asked about it post-game, probably because all of their focus was on the offensive foul. But Geno really is masterful dealing with the media. After the Chong shot-clock management mistake in 2017, which also occurred immediately following a time out, the only public comment he ever made about it was "I think that's just a kid trying to make a play." It was in-context to a good question asked, and really the perfect answer at the time. That Geno is so good at preserving his brand means that recruiting has not dropped of much if at all. That is a great thing. Next season the Huskies will have three number one recruits on the roster, all presumably healthy. Many here now define success for the program as making the Final Four. Given that four of the six Final Four losses post-2016 have been what I consider to be bad losses to teams not better than us, I am not really one of those people. But I respect those who are.
