New rivalries and old in Connecticut news: Jeff Jacobs delivers another long look at coach Laimbeer, the man Sun fans love to hate. (Whenever I read about coach Laimbeer, I like him; whenever I watch him on the sidelines, I don't.)
Also intoday's yesterday's Courant: why did Tennessee end its series with UConn, a series ESPN wanted to keep?
Pat says she wants to focus on SEC games, which is like when Bush administration officials say they want to spend more time with their families (not that she resembles a Bush appointee in any other respect). Geno says he can't comment (you know he would if he could). And the Courant's "multiple sources" say that Tennessee is mad at UConn, in part over how the New England school has recruited Maya Moore.
Mike DiMauro has some fun with the conjunction of rivalries: apparently Pat "needs a refresher course in the best interests of women's basketball."
Maybe so. Pat chose to cancel the series right after she won her first title in nine years, and after her team beat UConn three years in a row: 2008 would have been the first time in a while when the annual game did more, recruiting-wise, for UConn than for Tennessee.
