Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3800719, member: 26"] Great news indeed. I know fans are frustrated at all the cancelled/postponed games (imagine how the players feel!!!), but I've seen a few comments like "Geno just needs to schedule more games". I know not a lot of people have said that... Anyway, there was a press interview with him of about 20-25 media members where Geno addressed that. He said (paraphrasing) that he's constantly trying. He and Jeff Walz have been talking for weeks, but every time they get close to a date, the ACC or Big East reschedules a game for one or the other and it's not workable. For the cancelled Baylor game, he said that "we have a chartered plane scheduled to leave at 3 (I think Tuesday) so if any of you can get a game scheduled, we are ready to go". Obviously, it's not that easy to just flip a switch and get a game. He even asked how many people were on the call and was told 25 or so. He said "well if all of you want to suit up, we can play you guys. I don't care how good you are or who plays PG etc. My team wants to play". I know that's not his exact quote - I'm going off memory - but it was something like that. Clearly he and the team want to play anyone at any time, but it's not as simple as some might think...
