Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, March 20, 2003

Geno was on the Budweiser Hotseat last night on ESPN. We missed it, out catching up with friends, drinking pinot. Our friend Syd said it was sort of weird. When asked if he would ever coach men's ball (rumors lately about him at UCLA), he said no. He expressed some regret about the Amanda Alnutt incident, and said that he didn't mean anything sexist by the "guys" remark (he does, incidentally, call his players "guys" all the time -- no opinion here on whether that's appropriate). When asked "Is UConn's dominance bad for women's basketball?" he said: "only if you aren't on our team."

ESPN has this article about Geno today, and this article about Taurasi and her injuries. Geno says, as he told Jeff Jacobs the other day, that she's at about 50%.
