I have never liked this guy, but after these comments (about mens basketball), I think he is just a dumb pric$...
"I think the game is a joke. It
really is," Auriemma said. "I don't coach it. I don't play it, so I
don't understand all the ins and outs of it. But as a spectator, forget
that I'm a coach, as a spectator, watching it, it's a joke. There's only
like ten teams, you know, out of 25, that actually play the kind of
game of basketball that you'd like to watch.
"And
the bottom line is that nobody can score, and they'll tell you it's
because of great defense, great scouting, a lot of team work, nonsense,
nonsense. College men's basketball is so far behind the times it's
unbelievable. I mean women's basketball is behind the times. Men's
basketball is even further behind the times."
Those are his quotes. Has anyone ever seen Womens' College Basketball? There are only a handful of teams that have a real chance of winning every year. There are no major upsets. The big time programs are always going to win. Womens' College Basketball is the most boring sport ever. Most of the outcomes are easily picked before the games start. There is a reason there is no "March Madness" on the womens' side. Upsets are rare. I Geno is as great a coach as he thinks he is.. find a real job in Men's Basketball. The competition in games and recruiting is much better. Until then... shut up...
