Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3468998, member: 10435"] No matter where we end up, this is one of Geno's great coaching jobs. To transform a team that looked second rate and beaten down after the SC game into this new iteration of UCONN women's basketball has been remarkable. I especially like the new team chemistry and I attribute a lot of that to Jamelle, CD and Meg too. There isn't an "in your face" leader on this team like a Rizzotti or a Taurasi but our young women never lost their poise even when it seemed like the entire world was relishing attending the wake and funeral of UCONN women's basketball. It's as though all our players listened to "We Can Work It Out" by that group from the Sixties and then figured it out. By this time next year ( or maybe even this year Tony) those same unbelievers who were talking about dancing on our basketball graves will be moaning about how bad we are "for the game". They just don't get the hard work, grit, sacrifice and sublimation that it takes to play here and never will. That, above all else, is why our women deserve both our respect and admiration no matter what the eventual outcome. [/QUOTE]
