let's remember that part of the UConn-TN hostility also relates to his ability to attract Maya Moore in part via an ESPN "tour." I recently read another post in the Cardboard referring to ESPN as ESPUConn, and thought that was unfortunately brilliant. I hope Aja Wilson resists the allure of the UConn championships and stays in South Carolina to help them build under Staley!
Agree with the comment that I'd never want my daughter to go to UConn and play for Geno. Academics aside (of course, who can compare UConn to Stanford or indeed lots of other schools), who wants their daughter to play for that type of personality? His response to McGraw denigrated women's basketball with comments about the girls and drinking wine. Give me a break.
Then he says how Notre Dame was so much better than any other team he played. Sounds like post-game niceties, considering we were beating them for part of the game and our game was actually a few points closer. Next year, however, will be lots of rebuilding for us -- but we have a bright future now that we've begun attracting faster guards and have a few coming 'down the pike (as they say in the Northeast)!
