Gino made a fool of himself making those ridiculous statements. Caitlin is ten times the player that Diana Taurasi thinks she is! Oh I forgot that’s Ginos #1🤣 right!
That wasn’t the worst thing Auriema said. He called Clark followers idiots bc he deems them overzealous in their support of her. Does he forget there were U Conn fans who threatened the life of an Iowa player bc they felt she flopped setting a screen. The only idiot is Auriema and I’d love to tell it to his arrogant face.
All Gino has to do is say "Congratulations Cailin on a stellar rookie year. You proved me wrong. I got it wrong. Well done. You exceeded all expectations" . And that puts an end to it, he would gain some respect. But instead, Gino and others rather than admit they made a mistake, would rather try to hang onto their pride and say nothing. Sad really. He is allowed to have an opinion. OK it turned out to be wrong, that's OK to. Just be nice to hear him say congrats to Clark. (I know this was an old clip but I have not seen anything from Gino recently)
Geno used the John Wooden playbook and bought all the aau talent nationwide for years. UConn had the occasional Tennessee roadblock but now that the women's basketball game is alot more competitive and equal, Geno and UConn are mostly irrelevant and they can't stand it. This past year the lotto pick Edwards got worked by Hannah Stuelke and the girl wonder Paige struggled with Gabby Marshall hounding her.
Let's hear from GENO today... it is now Sep 2024... Does he have an opinion about CLARK today ?..... podcasters keep playing GENO words from before Caitlin joined the WNBA... Of course , GENO and Taurasi were PROVEN INCORRECT..... Caitlin arrived just as tough and seasoned as the veteran ladies of the WNBA..... Let's get some more recent words from these 2
Poor, Poor Geno. He was just following the Orders given to him by The Alphabet Mafia, and he's as scared of them as he would be of a Grizzly Bear....For Some Odd Reason Somebody Got "Pictures"????
The WNBA product sucked for years. I watched a WNBA game 20 years ago, and it was so bad, I didn't watch again, until Caitlin entered the WNBA. I followed Caitlin in college for three seasons because she was charismatic, dynamic, and relatable. Like me, many other fans of women's college basketball, followed her to the WNBA. If she would have decided not to pursue, he passion and chose another vocation, I and hundreds of thousands of fans would have never tuned into the WNBA. Her arrival to the WNBA is the marketing tool of the WNBA that was missing for the last 20 years. What controversy? Catlin Clark is being paid to play basketball and not to champion the WNBA agenda. She is a great ambassador for the game. She is articulate during interviews, give thoughtful answers, never has a bad thing to say, praises her teammates and opponents alike. She has taken the high road with all her critics and haters and has shown nothing but class. She is 22, but she has shown more maturity than Cheryl Swoops, Cindy Bronson, Geno Auriemma, Cheryl Reese and Becky Hammon. One last thing, I only watch the Indiana Fever games.
The only thing that should come out of Gino’s mouth is an I’m sorry I said those things, I really don’t know what I’m talking about when it comes to seeing greatness when it’s in front of me
When they dissed CC, they woke the sleeping giant, poked the bear, grabbed the tiger by the tail, played with fire, opened Pandora's box, bit off more than they could chew, walked into the lion's den, shot themself in the foot, let the dogs out, put a hit on Vito Corleone, lit the fuse, drank the Kool-aid, unleashed the kraken, wrote a check they could not cash, crossed the Rubicon, told Tommy to go home and get his shinebox, leaped before looking, painted themself into a corner, tripped the wire, rocked the boat, stepped on a crack, did not stay in their lane, touched a nerve, stole John Wick's car and killed his dog, put their foot in their mouth, brought a knife to a gunfight, bombed Pearl Harbor, stirred up the hornet's nest, kicked against the goads, ran with the bulls, stepped on a rake, slipped on a banana peel, dropped the ball, swam with the sharks, danced with the devil, tripped over a land mine, poured gasoline on fire, boarded the RMS Titanic, tugged on Superman's cape, spit into the wind, pulled the mask off the old Lone Ranger and messed around with Jim.
Hey Gino, There's a football player that had the same said about him. Wasn't big enough, fast enough or a known. He came from nowhere. He was even boo'd by his own fans at the start of his career but he caught on to the NFL game. His name name is Jerry Rice. All you've done Gino is prove you're a legend in your own mind and you're bad at judging talent. What might have you accomplished if you had traded rationalizing and justifying your actions for pulling your head out of your backside. It's a better view out here, really.
Gino was obviously trying to cover his ass for the fact that Caitlin Clark wanted to play for him, but he foolishly turned her down. That’s why he’s trying to disparage her
about 3/4ths the times I've watched the Fever play Caitlin is the fastest player on the court and it's usually not even close. Same thing at Iowa. I understand the Geno comment on strength even though I don't agree with it but the comment insinuating that she's too slow was down right idiotic.
You should watch the entire interview and not the various collected snippets. He wasn't disrespectful at all. He was critical of the fans, and social media overhyping her. He was critical of her, and she proved him wrong. But in that same interview he said she is elite. His point was, the college fans over hyping her, bothered WNBA players, and the fans caused her to have a target on her back.
nah common man, just stop defending geno. his critiques on clark and her fans is very clear and in plain english! geno and swoopes should kiss each other.
Geno manufactured the WNBA version 1.0! The Taurasi, Bird, Stewart, etc brand which also influenced Texas Tech, and was influenced iteslef by Tennessee. Attract a few thousand viewers. jundreds in the stands - WNBA 1.0! But Caitlin Clark is Inventing WNBA 2.0! millions of views, fast paced, points per minute, exciting!
Hey Gino! U Conn women’s basketball was a regional phenomenon that popped up the national stage once in awhile in their heyday (just an afterthought now). Caitlin Clark is a continual national story who is single-handedly raising the game of professional women’s basketball. Not Stewie, not Taurasi not Bird and not you. You’re not that important Mr. Arrogance!
Geno WAS one of the greatest coaches in women's BB ball. Just like the Fever, he hasn't won shit since 2016, but he ain't got CC coming in to turn his mediocrity around. He's another Bobby Knight, a once great has been who's gone nutso and come down with a chronic case of diarrhea of the mouth.
If Cameron Brinks doesn't get hurt. Rickea & her are in the playoffs. That LA Sparks team plays hard. No offense to Angel Reese, she's definitely a good rebounder but Cameron brought defense & scoring. Sparks got something next year. This rookie class is as good as advertised I think. Time will tell, CC, Brinks, Rickea & Reese the future is bright. Ladies continue to strive for Excellency
Geno is a coward. He stuck his foot in it and been trying to get it out since, hiding and hoping everyone will forget his stupidy. Of course Geno didn't have to get his ass kicked 4 times like his protege, Dianasaurous X. I have to wonder why DP hasn't had him back for a follow up. DT at least pretty much owns up to her self inflated gibberish after explaining how she single handedly won 3 NCAA Titles at UCONN. Imagine how many titles she could have won at Iowa. However she did get her ass kicked 4 times since by the CC Effect.
When Iowa beat UConn in the final 4 got espn hating on Cc sunce the booth got a hand full of former UCONN players Dinosaur trashy the so call great never herd of her reality check for the wnba the goat has arrived
Coach Auriemma wasn't just wrong about CC and the FEVER. He was spectacularly wrong.
I want someone to interview Gino now and see what he has to say about Caitlin Clark
Indeed
Exactly
Troll hides and always say no comments after they get exposed
Hard to say if he takes the high road or the low road. I am guessing he will not take questions or do interviews.
He would double down, and then say let's see her do it 2 years
I have to admit that the only reason I pay attention to the Wnba is because of CC.
Gino made a fool of himself making those ridiculous statements. Caitlin is ten times the player that Diana Taurasi thinks she is! Oh I forgot that’s Ginos #1🤣 right!
If he is so knowledgeable, why did he make himself out to be a fool?
Just following Orders is all
I can't believe the man coaches women's basketball
I think he also said she talks a lot of shit and isn't physical enough to back it up.
Gino messed up.
That wasn’t the worst thing Auriema said. He called Clark followers idiots bc he deems them overzealous in their support of her. Does he forget there were U Conn fans who threatened the life of an Iowa player bc they felt she flopped setting a screen. The only idiot is Auriema and I’d love to tell it to his arrogant face.
Keep it up dude. Great commentary. I like it.
Thank you
Like the Main Ingredient sang “everybody plays the fool “Gino.
First he failed to recruit CC he snubbed him and took Paige when he can actually have both lol… he made a mostake so he is playing it justification
Paige is likely to pay for it too
I Do Know about GENO SWOOPES ...........Has He Ever Watch Her PLAY ???
Where is Geno now?
Sad to see so many once greats ruin their legacy because of their hate filled hearts.
Better we know now than never, and not hold them up to our kids/Grandkids as some kind of Role Model.
Geno Is Just Another Nutless SIMP
He’s just salty because Iowa kicked his a$$
All Gino has to do is say "Congratulations Cailin on a stellar rookie year. You proved me wrong. I got it wrong. Well done. You exceeded all expectations" . And that puts an end to it, he would gain some respect.

What happened to Geno, He's not talking CC DOWM ANY MORE.
He's "Not Talking" Period
Poor, Poor Geno. He was just following the Orders given to him by The Alphabet Mafia, and he's as scared of them as he would be of a Grizzly Bear....For Some Odd Reason
Somebody Got "Pictures"????
Time has passed this old goat by.
What frightens me is agreeing with Nick Wright on anything.
The WNBA product sucked for years. I watched a WNBA game 20 years ago, and it was so bad, I didn't watch again, until Caitlin entered the WNBA.

Thin-skinned Auriemma was insulted that Clark did not beg to go to UCONN to play "for him"; that's the whole story, here.
When they dissed CC, they woke the sleeping giant, poked the bear, grabbed the tiger by the tail, played with fire, opened Pandora's box, bit off more than they could chew, walked into the lion's den, shot themself in the foot, let the dogs out, put a hit on Vito Corleone, lit the fuse, drank the Kool-aid, unleashed the kraken, wrote a check they could not cash, crossed the Rubicon, told Tommy to go home and get his shinebox, leaped before looking, painted themself into a corner, tripped the wire, rocked the boat, stepped on a crack, did not stay in their lane, touched a nerve, stole John Wick's car and killed his dog, put their foot in their mouth, brought a knife to a gunfight, bombed Pearl Harbor, stirred up the hornet's nest, kicked against the goads, ran with the bulls, stepped on a rake, slipped on a banana peel, dropped the ball, swam with the sharks, danced with the devil, tripped over a land mine, poured gasoline on fire, boarded the RMS Titanic, tugged on Superman's cape, spit into the wind, pulled the mask off the old Lone Ranger and messed around with Jim.

Yes what happened to that big mouth Geno I haven’t heard any flapping from him lately
about 3/4ths the times I've watched the Fever play Caitlin is the fastest player on the court and it's usually not even close. Same thing at Iowa. I understand the Geno comment on strength even though I don't agree with it but the comment insinuating that she's too slow was down right idiotic.

Geno is an old man past his prime
Nick Wright AWESOME
First time ever u can say that
Geno manufactured the WNBA version 1.0! The Taurasi, Bird, Stewart, etc brand which also influenced Texas Tech, and was influenced iteslef by Tennessee. Attract a few thousand viewers. jundreds in the stands - WNBA 1.0!
But Caitlin Clark is Inventing WNBA 2.0! millions of views, fast paced, points per minute, exciting!
How can you say geno thought eventually shed be a good player when he said she doesn't beling in the league?
