According to Sue Bird, his technique with her was to make every mistake her responsibility even when she wasn't on the court. One of the main things I've heard about Stevens is that she is often not in the right place. Geno's always been that way as a coach. He will get on a player for bad technique even if her statistics are good. We don't know what Walker has or has not been doing in practice to have earned playing time. You don't know whether she met his standards because he said nothing at all about it. You are assuming that because he didn't insult her, that she was doing well and so he was not rewarding her. That's flawed logic.

It is not sophistry as Geno had no qualms whatsoever calling out either Walker or Stevens saying the reason why two players played 40 minutes is he thought about taking them out but decided simply not to. If anything the absence of disparaging remarks indicates, predicated on his penchant for unbridled acerbic comments, that there was none to be made. I am very aware of Geno’s practices and his players comment about them - does not hold water in this case.

Louisville was never in this game. Sorry Notre Dame and Texas played them better. Second half the game was just slowed down while Dangerfield and Nurse sat some on the bench. Uconn bench sucks other than when they put Stevens under the basket. Is that you Walz trying to get some love as your team was embarrassed in the first half. |
Yeah, that number four ranking is just totally humiliating. They lost to 11 to UConn. Who else has come that close? One team, Notre Dame.
Not:
Texas
South Carolina
Stanford
UCLA
Maryland
Absolutely Walz should crawl under a rock and hide after that game |
Keep rolling your eyes buddy Texas only lost by 4 Maybe he doesn't need the rock, he can use his shirts for a tent. |
Okay I missed one....it happens.
I just don't get all the negativity. It was a reasonably close game, and at least in my opinion should give other teams (and Louisville) more reason to believe they can beat UConn.
This board rarely has anything positive to say it seems any more. It's really getting to be a downer. |
And I only mentioned 2 teams, so you didn't have to take your ass swipes at me. |
What the hell are you talking about? Never mind, this is just freaking ridiculous. You go on Nix, have a blast being negative about everything. I'm out. |
I see a pattern here. You won't judge, then complain about negativity, then leave in a huff.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Louisville posed little threat to win the game after the first ten minutes, and the Dangerfield 3 at halftime buried them for good.
At Texas, CT trailed by 3 after 1, led by 1 at the half, was up 6 going into the 4th, and won by 4. The game was a struggle. The win over ND required a comeback/choke of unusual proportion.
We all know "past performances don't guarantee future results", but there's really no comparison between Monday night and the other 2 games.

No I frequently comment about the negativity here because this is the so-called home of super fans and all some people do is criticize and complain about players coaches etc. without knowing facts; they just pass judgement.
Sure this board has always had some of that but it was usually based on facts not just judgments. Now it seems that people have no respect for the players coaches administrators and other posters and think it’s okay to be mean and nasty because they know better.
And I wouldn’t call ending participation in what was becoming an obviously personal pissing match leaving in a huff. I call it showing restraint and not stooping to he level of others.
But if you want to join Nix and post crap about me on a personal level you go on with your bad self. I’m not going to bite. Have a rainbow filled day.

What "personal crap" did I post about you? You said you don't judge, yet you do judge posts/posters.
If you had exited w/o taking a shot at me, your high-horse projection would seem more genuine.
Btw, I'd prefer a foot of snow to a rainbow, if you don't mind.

Well if the bold above wasn't a personal shot, then I apologize. I don't judge posters, I just question why something so fun can what seems like always be negative to some people. That's not a judgment, that's a question.
I know what you wrote about me, but please, tell me, what shot I took at you? I even wished you a rainbow day. Was that what was offensive? Okay, I hope you have your foot of snow day...just not in Connecticut.
