- Head coach Geno Auriemma speaks with the media following the No. 11 UConn Women's basketball team's 65-83 loss over the No. 1 South Carolina Gamecocks on February 2, 2024.
I am a Huskie fan, we just have to admit that they got spanked. and Geno can acknowledge that SC is playing good ball and thats why they are #1. He's struggling to give the SC coach any credit.
Love Paige but im a gamecock fan…. I’m a women’s college basketball fan…. Respect
I was excited to see her. I'm a gamecock fan
so many gamecock fans being extremely nice and respectful to Paige on twitter. Thank you
I like her 2
Aside from not giving SC much credit, I think Geno was just brutally honest about where his team is right now given the circumstances. They’re good enough to still win another conference title in given how weak the conference is, but it’s highly unlikely for the Huskies to make any significant noise in the tournament. The lack of depth, paint-presence and playmaking/shooting around Paige will cost this team and it’s unfortunate. Feels like we’re saying “Wait until next year when they’re at full strength” every single year….
South Carolina is just a better team.
Geno focused on the shortcomings of his team and was clearly thinking about what he needs to do to get ready for the balance of the season. He did say that SC played their brains out. Which they did. And yes SC is a better team. A good coach should be focused on the future after a loss like that.
He’s unreal. Give the Gamecocks some credit. We were without some players also.
Bruh yall same dumbahhh shit we missing 6 key players you talmbout one player wtf yall just b saying shit
I give full credit to the gamecocks but you can't ignore the fact that UCONN is without 5 players, and not just any players - they are all highly skilled. However, injuries are a part of the game. UCONN had some great runs in the past where they had their most important players available and were dominating all over the place - now it is their time to take a backseat. It's good for women's basketball too.
@@nkanski8854 South Carolina was missing their best player and still won. Uconn had their best players
oh yeah you're right, if you have a good starting five you really can win it all without any contributions from your bench. I wonder why colleges are so stupid to even spend money on scholarships for bench players 🙄🤣🤣@@SKeletor99999
also, how is missing 2 starters "had their best players"? SC's biggest strength (and that goes for pretty much every team that has shown this type of dominance in basketball) is their depth - they have 3 players who score in double digits and 4 more who score almost 10ppg. Not a single player has to play more than 27.5mins - you wanna tell me that's no factor in their success? @@SKeletor99999
Congratulations to SC. They were great. But remember, Geno brought Dawn under his teaching when he was coaching the Olympic team, before SC started their rise. I’m sure Dawn would agree she learned a lot from him through that relationship. And, when Vic Schaffer was pulling his hair out about MS, he went to Geno for help and Geno was glad to be of assistance, in order that the game of basketball could reach more parity. After Schaffer’s discussions with Geno, Mississippi State became a much better team and started winning. And, when UCLA was not even a blip on the basketball scene, Cori Close came to Connecticut and spent time watching Gino’s practices, then took what she learned home and implemented it with her team, and today UCLA is a contender. Geno was quick to share his experience with these coaches, quietly and taking no credit for these coaches subsequent successes, but has continued to push for more parity in the game. He understood that this would lessen UConn’s chances to run away with the trophy every year, but he also apparently foresaw that, without solid competition, women’s basketball would never grow in popularity with all BB fans to where it is now. The common denominator here was Geno, just sayin’. Let’s see what happens next year when UConn gets back the other half of the team, the 4 starters and terrific Aubrey, all sitting on the bench this year with injuries. Thank you Geno, and your team.
Totally agree - How quickly people forget what Geno and Uconn has done for women's college Basketball and its coaches..
They are ladies not guys stop addressing them as guys
that irritates the F out of me!! to me he is a male chauvinist
Yes he is I wouldn’t never ever let my girls play for him
So the limitations dont count during their conference games
I'm a SC fan, so I don't watch many UCONN games....however, my biggest takeaway from this press conference is that it sounds like he refuses to accept change. If the starters are having a bad game, are starting off rough, why not try other players on the bench. If the bench never gets a chance, what happens when the starters foul out or become injured (hope all the players remain healthy, I do not wish harm on any of the players, however, sometimes it happens.) I hope the coaching staff sees the untapped potential in their bench, they could possibly be a game changer.
They don't have any bench except for the 5 players that are currently injured that would normally be starting or playing..
No body feels sorry for UCONN. The landscape has changed.
UConn had 5 players unavailable for the season due to injuries. 3 of them Fudd, Ducharme,
and Griffin amount to an add'l 20 to 30 pts. added to UConn's total. Include Patterson, and
you have a significant deficit.
Who cares
To my friends from the great South Carolina Gamecock community. Congratulations on a thorough, well deserved, decisive win. You were the better team in every way. You deserve your ranking and undefeated record
My wife and I are 15 year UConn womens bb season ticket holders. I read a number of comments about Genos lack of explicitly saying what I just wrote
I heard a number of references to USC being a great team, UConn needing to play near perfect to win, and needing USC to play below their best for UConn to have a chance.
I heard his comments as typical Geno - talking to his team thru the media. He finds out if they fight.back from his deserved criticism.
Congrats again to USC. Tons of talent. Played w grace and effectiveness. Looked like.a championship team and program.
I hope we meet again this season.
Hard to listen to Geno not give South Carolina any credit or congratulate Dawn Staley. South Carolina is THE best team in women's college basketball and has been for 4 years with a 174 - 9 record since the 2019 -2020 season. He was missing some players and we were missing our starting center for two games. NO excuses. Go home.
How didn’t he give them credit he said they were a good team lol. South Carolina hasn’t helped UConn become who they are. UConn has helped SC become who they are which is why Dawn gave them those flowers. Like she said UConn got nothing out of playing this game year after year, but obviously SC playing UConn changed their program. It’s not the same scenario. Geno doesn’t have to give flowers to seeds he already has planted. If he didn’t want SC to ever beat UConn he would of been took them off of UConn’s schedule.
Y’all want Geno to kiss everyone’s ass. Why do y’all want so much validation from someone you don’t like? He said they were good. What more do u need?
You're either deaf or dumb or both. He said they were a much deeper and different kind of team. Pretty much saying how good they were. He has said in the past how good of a coach she is. Christ does he have do do it every time. They are missing 5 players not one idiot. But hey congrats to SC they have put together a great team. I love you m=o=r=o=n=s who dont really know what it means to have half of your team missing not just one player. It would be like taking PaoPao out (Fudd is out) Watkins out (Patterson is out) Cardoso out (jana Al Elfy is out) Kitts out (Griffin is out) and name me another wing for SC take her out (DuCharme is out) See how that would deplete SC's Lineup. Now take those SC players out and have UConn at full strength except for the Center. Think it would make a difference. Thats how injuries have held back UConn this year. It makes a huge difference. I took the UConn players and pretty much matched them to the type of player SC would lose if they had the season ending injuries UConn has had. Possibly the reason UConn is just a good team not a great team. SC is a powerhouse and truthfully can afford not to have Cardoso for a game or 2 and not miss a beat. But like I said if you cant see that then maybe your just an SC fan and really dont know much about the game at all. Vegas had SC 10 point favorite I jumped all over it giving the points I personally did not think UConn had much of a chance. Turns out they had 15-20 wide open looks and just couldn't knock the shots down. I thank them for missing because I won quite a bit. So it's not an excuse so much as it is a reality. Everybody sees it but you so what's that say about your knowledge of the game!!! By the way I really love SC's team.
You talking bout 2 players when we missing 6 key players
@@VecksJanaeyou smoking crack UConn ain’t helped sht 😂😅 we we beat 4 straight years buddy y’all learning from
Us sorry as team
Poor UConn had no answers for the height advantage South Carolina enjoyed.
SC tallest starter is 6’3”, 2nd tallest player is 6’2”. UConn tallest player is 6’3”,2nd tallest player is 6’1” - no height advantage.
You lost!!!!!
Geno’s right. Paige is going to have to go CC or Juju during the tourney for them to have a chance. She has to consistently attack every time she touches the ball. She has the capability but not the mindset.
I think Paige sees the bigger picture… the W. CC and JuJu will not have the volume of shots they have now. They will have to adjust,just like Plum. Go look at the USA squad with CC and Paige. Paige and Edward will do well in the W.
Paige disappears in big games. I think Paige needs Azi. It’s like Batman without Robin. Something has to be missed because they touted Paige as if she was Jordan like but what we are getting is more Barkley like. 😂
It's amazing how these young ladies are amongst the best in the country coming into the program but somehow when everything is not going well they all of a sudden aren't talented enough...
A coaches job is to develop players not blame them for his inability to develop them....
Truth
2 Freshmen are starting & the 6th & 7th players are Freshmen. If everyone is healthy the, best one of them would be the 8th person...Fudd & Ducharme would be starting, Griffin would be 6th man, Patterson would be first big off the bench(7th man). None of the Freshmen are Stewie, Maya, Bueckers or the other relative few freshmen that started and played 30 mins per game.
Geno has developed players better than any coach in the history of the game. you don’t know what you’re talking about. Dawn has players on her bench that barelly ever get playing time too. The issue is that UConn has a lot of injuries.
Exactly. sc replaced their entire starting lineup. No one says anything truthfully about that. Uconn and sc gets high caliber players. Yes they have injury problems. But SC is balanced with the inexperienced, in quotes, played and they keep everything in order.
@@survivorswapped7637
Why is he complaining about lack of talent?
All these young ladies were top 100 hoopsgurlz recruits.
The issue is most people we consider great coaches are actually coaches with great talent.
It's easy to win when you get the most talented players in the country year in and year out.
What's harder is developing a raw player with potential but is not quite at the level you want them to be.
This is where you find out who is really a good coach and who is really good at recruiting.
These young ladies are not going to get any better sitting on the bench.
Because regardless of how much talent you may or may not have chemistry is very important.
Teams with lesser "talent" are not winning with lower rated players by luck.
It is by player development and team chemistry.
What most people don't appreciate about coaching is that it requires more skill, talent, and intelligence than players have who actually play the game.
Why would i play for a coach who says" the players that dont play wont play".. no development, no confidence just work the hell out of the rest until they get injured too
The two players he is talking about that won't play have had their chances. DeBerry steps out on the floor and shows absolutely no want to play, no energy. You will not play for Geno with an attitude like that. Please know the team and the situation before taking what he says at face value
Like I said, "against competitive teams Uconn doesn't look good." Nikki gets exposed as the non-gaurd she is.
Ice is starting to look overrated until she proves otherwise.
There is no urgency on defense when playing a talented team. Been this way all season.
Told a few UConn fans on Twitter same thing smh nobody wanted to listen
ICe brady is the worst player I have ever seen in my life.
@JohnJohn-fe6yc And she was ranked a top 5 player when coming out of high school at that... look at the freshmans this year who were ranked in the top 5 pitting in work. Shame!
@@jimmiesmith5590 not 2 mention she was DPO in the the weak conference lol soon as the played ohio st on the sweet 16 got exposed big time … Fudd is another Overrated player as well
@beyondrealitypodcast4325 I would say the verdict hasn't concluded yet on Fudd if she can stay healthy.
One thing for sure is that Paige is more consistent than Fudd when shooting the 3 ball.
Hall of fame coach 11 time NCAA WOMENS BASKETBALL TITLES. He has forgotten more about the game, then most of today's coaches will ever know. He sounded right on with his comments, and he did say SC played there brains out.
Geno is the biggest cry baby coach ever
@@SKeletor99999 Living rent free in your Special Education Conf simple mind. The inferiority complex is on full display, that why you Special Ed Conf fan spend all your time on other teams media. .
Geno and Kim are two coaches I would not let my kid play for. They never take the blame when they lose but when they win they want all the praise.
Please explain how UConn can lose to the #1 team in the nation on the road and drop 4 spots in the AP Poll. Erstwhile, Iowa loses to an unranked team on the road and drops only 2 spots
UCONN got run off the floor.
Who are young guys? Gino your real funny, it’s so hard for you to give SC there props it’s cool tho, SC does NOT need your approval bc they all ready know! Good game Huskies your coach is a sad puppy. Congrats to SC !
You dumb
They are ladies Geno!
Well said!
Even if both teams were at full strength this year, SC is the deeper, better team, especially at rebounding and defensive quickness. But because of injuries, against the #1 team in the country, on the road, Geno had to start a center and four guards, two of whom are freshmen. Not much he could do or say, really.
Never seen Geno at a lost for words
Geno is hopeless., but I understand you was on top for so long and now the game has changed. You will never get back on top again. There are plenty of programs in all of sports who have had their day to never return to glory and this is one of them. So, turn the Paige and accept it.
😭😭😭Your are so right. I’m a NE PATS since 2000 what a ride!
Try that in English. Special Education Conference on full display again. What's so pathetic about you people is the clear inferiority complex while that you spend all your time on other teams program feeds and videos.
UCONN just not quick enough grabbing rebounds on defense.🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
too short!
They were too slow in transition, sc had like 3-4 5 vs 2 and 4 vs 2 breaks because Geno has worn them to the bone..... frankly he's got to learn to platoon and not expect humans to be robots.
"Their style of play is Different," -Geno
ya’ll in the comments think you know better than Geno, an 11x national champion? 😂😂😂
No. He's just classless.
They just not good simple as that injury prone team every year a main player on they team always get injured
All these SC Soecial Education Conf fans think women's bball just started in 2017 when they started to win. They have a major inferiority complex, despite their constant yapping. That's evident because they spend all their time on other programs social media, instead of their own.
This shows me that it was more of the players talents from his past & not so
Much his coaching… this is probably the less talented team he has had… & it’s showing and he don’t have the talent to
Cover it up anymore.. this seems very bitter smh and it’s shameful honestly..
He's a Bum
Only player that played her heart out from start to finish is Paige...you could see she wanted her other teammates to keep pushing and execute! SC dominated without Kamila they were locked in from start to finish and UCONN got out coached by Dawn Staley and out played by Tehina, Ashlyn, Raven, Chloe, Bree and Tessa, Milyashia....Go Gamecocks keep rolling and win the national title 🔥💪🏾
I think SC would have won anyway but it could have been a little bit closer of a game had UCONN not tried to run/keep up with SC. You are pretty much playing with 5 players..what makes you think you can run up and down that court like a bunch of headless chicken? KK had the ball and she just went rogue with it. Shade jacket up some shots so early into the shot clock that Aliyah couldn't even get to SC's FT-line to get herself into a position to rebound. And Paige and Nike just let it happen.
Respect to UCONN...they made UofSC what it is today. Most Huskies fans have to admit the changing of the guard in women's basketball. The new standard is within the SEC, thanks to the UCONN over the past decades. Coach Staley stated the same sentiment. Paige Buecker is a great player and Edwards continues to be a stable force for the Huskies....Go Gamecocks!
UConn made UofSC what it is today? That's a stretch.
@@roberte.bennett8327crazy stretch. They didn't have to except the invitation nor did south carolina. Dont take dawns graciousness for butt kissing. Shes also awalys loved paige and her game since a freshman. Relax uccon didnt make south Carolina. South carolina made south Carolina.
@@roberte.bennett8327my comment was for the husky dude up top not you. Peace
Listen to Coach Staley's older comments about UCONN during the 2016 - 2018 seasons. She was honest about the style of ball being played at UCONN as they were the 'standard' at that time. We often have short term memory.
@@roberte.bennett8327
Bleed Blue my Friends, Go Huskies!!!!
and for players to have more assists, the players that she passes to have to make shots
Love how Geno tried to acted like SC has a veteran team and he has a team freshman we had no returning starters and they have 3
The UCON players deserve better comments from their coach. Typical Geno comments, it's the players fault and the other team is not any good.
What the heck are you talking about? Even listen?
How about taking some responsibility as the coach. Maybe a comment to the effect, coaching needs to better not just we need better players. Sour grapes.
@@USCjorge If you follow UConn you’d know that he has taken responsibility in press conferences for coaching errors (after Notre Dame). In this case, his comments were dead on. He recognized his team’s limitations, what they’d have to do to be more competitive, and how they got themselves in trouble, how SC took advantage of every error, before after halftime starting to turn it around. He commented about Shade missing a lot, without in the least bit being critical, for example. His weakness in my mind is how he puts things sometimes about individual players, such as yesterday about Ice. Instead of saying they need her to play better the next couple of weeks, he could say they need good games out of her (not that it will make much difference in her play, but it could). If you listen to Dawn Staley, she can be just as critical, as well as complimentary, just like Geno.
Too everybody saying Geno didn't give SC credit, ehatbate you expecting him to say? SC fans used to be smart what happened? I think some of yall Iowa fans disguised as SC fans.
Hang it up my man. No one deserves that much pressure as a starter
It’s not his fault 5 players are out injured. Of course the starters need more rest but his options are limited.
His press conferences are getting better but question never asked is why is the bench players not playing to get time when they are up by a lot in their weaker confererence than SEC.
Samuels & Brady are getting 15 to 20 mins in those games. Deberry is a lost cause. Bettencourt is the equivalent to a walk on, she's only playing if every other guard is hurt or fouled out & in garbage time.
LSU so far is the ONLY team this year to play SC very close…only lost 76-70 and it was tied 70-70 with 1:36 left.
Unc game was only 7pts.... but really both games were never really close....
@@Drizzle8481 idk what game you were watching but lsu came out hot and lead by 15 at one point. Not really close. Ya ok
@@Christopher-hg2yiidk what game he was watching 😅
You're so likeable, Geno! 🙃
Who is surprised, one of the differences between him and Coach Staley is "class", he has none and she is overflowing with it!. Listen to her interview and this stick in the mud!
I dont even know how they play for him. The guy is super negative. Imagine practice they must on edge everyday. They actually played like it. No joy no hope it looked really forced.
Great Coach 👍
Why is he calling females guys smh
Damn he afraid to give sc credit. He is a hater
UConn didn’t play good enough they must get it together before tournament time
Defense wins national titles!! Go gamecocks
Like why do people feel like Geno owes South Carolina anything…what have they done for UConn?
UConn never got clout off of beating SC.
All you doing is yapping about nothing take the L and move on GCFL
Yeah cause they don’t beat SC 😂
@Lilquan2004 From the fan base full of people with such an inferiority complex you spend all your time on the Twitter, UA-cam, etc.. of other programs. Special Education Conf fan you do realize this is UCTV. Your program has its own posy game feed where you can spread your ignorance. Hint, Special Education programs that do not have an inferiority complex and know what they are do not obsess over others programs. That's what pretenders with self esteem issues do.
They haven't beat SC in the last 4 games.... those first few they got actual competition that they didn't have in the big least, then that competition surpassed them with homegrown talent. The student has become the teacher, time for Geno to start learning....
@@Drizzle8481 what’s your point? SC fans wanna talk shit after it took ya’ll literally a decade to beat UConn once. A huge part of this run has been UConn’s health. Ya’ll want credit for inching closer to .500 in the series cool but you’re still losing it lol
9-5. Just like UConn didn’t beat SC forever SC won’t beat UConn forever. Ya’ll new to this, but we are true to this. imma need SC to win a championship being undefeated and repeat once before you expect to be respected in a conversation with UConn. ALOT of programs have has their moments: Baylor, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Stanford, UConn, it’s just SC’s turn right now but trust it won’t last forever. The problem is SC fans wanting praise for accomplishing things others have been accomplished. When in reality we looking at ya’ll like bout time ya’ll made it…😂
until beating UConn isn’t considered an accomplishment for your program they are still the standard. Your coach even said SC has to thank UConn for where their program is now. Her words not ours.
Why can’t he recruit more talent? They never have bigs!
Do you have any idea whom has been injured? Brady missed all last year, Patterson missed 1/2 last year, all this year, El Alfy gone the entire year.
He has plenty of talent. The issue is that 5 of them are out injured. why are people forgetting that?

Good assessment. UConn is playing with a good starting five and the first two off the bench being Freshmen. They have nine games before the NCAA. Stay tuned.
He does not if he does not want to and he does daen was like that we will get it together this is not uconn that i know what the problem is i dont know hard headed geno respects everybody
Dawn publicly thank this man in her interview and his team for helping to shape her program but I can tell the respect isn’t reciprocated
"Playing with limitations"??????? We were without a top player, with Cardoso, we'd have won by 30!!!!! You got your ass beat!!
Are you serious or joking? At UConn, 5 talented players are unavailable due to injuries, and three of those who played yesterday are returning from injuries that kept them sidelined for a year. To top it off, one of the best pg in the country is forced to play as a 4. And are you telling me about Cardoso's absence?

So amazing how, in the human family, there is a great fascination with hatred toward excellence. Human beings want to see whatever is excellent crumble. I wouldn't be surprised if, already, there is an entire culture of people wanting, aching for South Carolina to fall flat on their face. Follow it all through sports history; the great teams in any sport were hated. Why wouldn't we want the excellent to continue being excellent? Why wouldn't we want South Carolina to win 12 more national championships? Instead, people are already hoping South Carolina, UConn, Stanford, Tennessee never win another one. What if South Carolina wins 4 or 5 in a row? Humans will be saying how bad it is for women's bb, and someone has got to put a stop to South Carolina winning every year. Why can't we all rise up and say, "Win 20, Dawn!" But no, when excellence is around us, we want to kick it, stomp on it, yell at it, curse it, blame it, hope it breaks apart. That attitude is crazy to me. When UCLA had Kareem, even the NCAA had to get in on the hate - they outlawed dunking. Of course, that only made Kareem a better player. But the point is, hate whatever dares to be better than good. The attitude is kind of "It's ok to be good, but don't be great." Humans seem to get absolutely crazy when something is great for an extended period of time. Seems like we should be outrageously happy for success, instead of howling with glee for failure.
He doesn't complain when they win
where did he complain in the press conference?? provide an example
🐂💩
I guess you haven't watched any uconn games at all..Especially at half time..
Keep burning those starters out. You need to change coach. Sit some starters against 1-19 Xavier. You are one stubborn coach.
He has 5 players out injured. His options are limited. Two of the players on the bench would get 0 playing time at SC as well.
Yes, I know that. However, he just said in his presser he doesn't care about bench players. So keep burning your starters out. Leave them in for the 39 minutes and then when they burned out in the tournament I don't want to hear it.
P.S. SC did not win the National Championship yesterday.
No, we didn't. UCONN LOST YESTERDAY!! GO COCKS!!!
And you still don’t understand 😢
Mizzou beat them 2 yrs ago short handed, undersized, without their leading scorer and rebounder. MIzzou played with heart. That's how you beat a superior team. WITH HEART!!! Miracle on ice happened because the US team played with heart. The majority of Russian players were NHL pros.
And colonels in the Russian Red Army
Mizzou hasn't won anything in their programs history. They have 5 players out for the year..2 starters Fudd & Ducharme, the 6th man Griffin , 7th man Patterson & a 6'5 freshmen big. Please tell me what any team would be like having their 8th & 9th person now having to start & play 30 mins & 10, 11th men as the only serviceable subs.

We don't need any validation from GA. Uconn is the all time standard of women's basketball, but SC is the current standard. Geno looks tired and ready to retire.
If it's true South Carolina doesn't need validation from Auriemma, why are so many of the comments put off thinking he's not giving validation to South Carolina? Strange, don't you think? (I'm saying I agree with you, but, I'm saying a pretty significant portion of Gamecock nation must not believe they are great - yet. They apparently have to see Auriemma fail more, AND hear him say SC is great.) I prefer your attitude - believe in yourself...
Coach Staley has been in the coaching profession 23 years. In those 23 years she has won 2 national titles. Calm down! I'm not saying that to take a swipe at Coach Staley. I'm saying that because it's so damn hard to win a title. The coach out at Stanford has the most wins of any college coach, ever, men's or women's. Coach Vanderveer has won 3. It's so difficult to get all the pieces working together. Why mention Auriemma? We all know what he's done. I'm hoping Coach Staley might win 12, 14? Why not? Vanderveer is getting on up there in age to keep doing this much longer. She's not going to eclipse 11. It's going to get harder and harder, because of how easy it is for players to change schools if they get upset - for any reason at all. Just like free agency in pro sports makes team cohesion more difficult; the portal in the NCAA makes creating a team more difficult. Thing is though, stars added together don't always make the best team. Coach Staley is proving that this year. She lost a lot of talent from last years team, but she has this team playing some powerful basketball. We'll see. We'll see.
Hater
Hes a cry baby they beat up on the weak big east better teams will roll right over them just like s carolina and if they had there center they would of won by 40 enough said excuse maker
Geno hates the Gamecocks and Dawn, you can see it in his face. He wants to rip that banner down from behind his chair. You dont have to like us, but you will respect us! Have some class and give credit where credit is due.
Geno is going to keep using injuries as the excuse of the team’s losses instead of just giving South Carolina credit smh. It’s called adjustments….. while Dawn will continue to praise the UConn program.. I think he is realizing that the winning era he once knew is nomore & it’s South Carolina’s turn lol it’s laughable… so Muhl just had a bad game but nobody did nothing lol I’m done !!
If the roles were reversed? South Carolina, losing five of their players! And UConn fully healthy! You loser South Carolina fans would say the same thing!
stop being so dramatic Geno is the only coach I have ever seen who consistently gives other teams credit for what they do and stops to congratulate key players in the handshake line win or loss. You don't watch uconn and it shows. Dawn doesn't praise anyone. It means he thinks injuries play a big part in his loss it doesnt mean he has to fucking kiss her feet 24/7. he acknowledges they are a good program.
Complains he doesn't have a bench but only plays 7 for the past 3 months with 2 healthy players sitting on the bench. Does sub early and often. Stop your whining!! You have young players? How many of South Carolina's players started last year. Your system no longer works!
South Carolina subs early and often!
He's too stubborn...
Geno doing the best he can but is extremely limited. Two freshmen starting. Four players injured, out for the year. Ice a disaster, a walking turnover. Starters playing too many minutes the entire season. Fudd and Griffin year ending injuries devastating to the team.
@@directorofcareerserv why are the starters playing so many minutes in Big East games in which they have a decent lead while players are sitting on the bench hardly getting any minutes. He has been over playing the starters for the past 7 years!
Have you actually watched a game this year?...Deberry is useless & lost after 3 years. They have tried everything, she a head case & literally can't finish practices.. Bettencourt is the equivalent of a walk on, they got her last minute last year just for numbers. They are missing 5 players, 2 starters, their 6th & 7th man pre season. Th
What a Poor Sport can’t give Coach Staley any Credit like other More Formable Teams
He will never say one positive thing about Coach Staley or the team , its sad to see someone who has won alot not give a good job to the gamecocks. Oh well Go Gamecocks ❤🏀
Living rent free in your Special Education Conf simple mind. The inferiority complex is on full display, that why you Special Ed Conf fan spend all your time on other teams media. .
Pro tip: watch on 1.5x speed.
Everything Geno said was spot on and he gave South Carolina the amount of credit they deserved
He’s terrible. Carolina has a good team, just say so.
Y’all so dumb bruh lol i hate ppl yall don’t watch basketball or nun
Time for Geno to retire!!
He’s obviously bitter and has lost their Attention in the locker room. Not a very talented team he’s short of talent UConn overrated
Certainly would not have made much of a difference in this game, but incredibly disappointing that he and his staff have completely FAILED to develop and motivate their 6'6 player, Deberry, to, at the very least, be a defensive rim protector in even some small capacity. What a bust! His plan to have AE sag off Ashlyn Watkins to protect the rim and prevent SC put-backs got shredded. Hard to believe that Amari Deberry couldn't have helped just a little to make that game plan a bit more effective. And Muhl, a senior, continues her pattern of MIA play when facing top level teams. So, they'll go back to the Big Easy and win the Conference. Then what? SC showed UCONN (after learning from UCONN) the blueprint for future years. Question is will GA and staff embrace the necessary changes to make the program competitive against the better/top ranked teams? Because if he doesn't, down the stretch - future March Madnesses - they will be just a bunch of girls playing in a grown women league.
he ready to retire
And please with the Paige Beckers cheerleader .. she got man handled for 2 straight year .
Retire already you've done enough!! You are in the way of the next great coach!
Here come the excuses from Geno.
I keep hearing the UConn fans saying that "we have no bench". Well, UConn has a 6'6" Jr, and a sophomore guard that actually bailed out Geno and UConn last year when they were in danger of forfeiting due to lack of players. It is up to the coaches, and this is where I fault them, to develop their players over their time on campus. Geno seems to take a dislike to certain players and that is where they stay: on the bench.
If a player like Amari refuses to practice hard and doesn't listen, there is nothing much the coach can do about..Not even take her scholarship away..No rules are broken..
He should wear diapers. He is a basketball coach. Give me a break. No one has asked him why he never had the stones to coach the Men.
He not trying to give South Carolina or Dawn Staley and credit....shameful
He acts surprised.
He’s not surprised. They have 5 players out. He knows what he’s dealing with.
You should never start drinking a lot and believing your press clippings before you retire.
Cry me a river Geno.
South Carolina is a good team with only 2 National Titles (maybe 3?). UCONN has ELEVEN! Get over it!
All of our National Championships were coached by the current award winning staff. No team can stay in the top forever and we'll come back for sure! And, if UCONN stayed at the top, it would not be good for the game of women's basketball. Without UCONN there never would have been a UCLA team, a IOWA team or a South Carolina team. Get over it!
What are you talking about? We know all about UConn's history. We're talking class, respect and sportsmanship here. He showed none.
