On other list I frequent someone said this is typical of Geno and even went so far as to say he's made homophobic comments in the past. Now I know he's a snarky sonna but I've never heard of him saying anything outside of said snarks, homophobic, racial or otherwise. Can anyone shed some light on this?

LOL! I can't believe this has become such a big deal too...the funny thing is if ESPN hadn't caught it on camera, I bet no one is any the wiser about it!

Yeah, it's not like the coaches had a 15 minute heated discussion that
had to be drown out with music just before a press conference within
ear shot of the press.

True, but had the cameras not caught it, Viv wouldn't have said anything, and Geno wouldn't have gotten pissed with Viv. It's all gamesmanship. Funny how Rutgers' AD today said that it may take until after the NCAA tournament for them to gather all their info.

Hmmm... what better way for CViv to deflect her team's attention from a loss going into the tournament than to sieze the opportunity to get them all fired up about their star being abused by the Great Satan. Just a thought.

Some might say that you are giving her credit for being more calculating than she actually is. Some might say that you are giving her credit for being smarter than she actually is.

Rutgers has been getting a lot of attention this year, but CVS seems to prefer the underdog/disrespected role. The Geno non-incident was a chance for her to give them a chip on their shoulders as they lost big heading into the NCAA tourney.
As expected, the Big East is quick to try and quiet this. The very last paragraph of the article seems a bit random, and very misleading, to me though.

If you mean the graf about Nykeshagate, I think it's the sort of thing reporters add in case their editors need to fill space, on the assumption that (like any hard-news story) editors cut from the bottom up (inverted-pyramid structure). I wouldn't read much into it.
