Muffet Again !

[CCinCT]

From an AP article by Steve Megargee, Muffet states "the thing that makes her (Allen) the best point guard in the country" - not "one of the best" but "THE BEST". Pretty clear what you're saying Muffet, no backtracking or equivocation on this one.

Cut her some slack. She's talking about one of her own players. A player she worked very hard to recruit. It's her opinion and you know what they say about opinions...

Remind us about what they say. ;^)

We should be thanking Muffet for the contribution to the UConn locker room. We've seen how that works out...

 

[Kaizen]

Next week, she will say Allen is the best point guard in Indiana

 

[huskiemaniac]

Who cares? Just a coach supporting her own player...

Coaches can't always say what they really think. Usually they just give us cliches and coach-speak. Who cares what Muffet thinks? Correct me if I'm wrong, but is there anyone here in the yard that cares what she says or thinks? I would expect her (and her entire staff) to promote her own players. Geno and his staff does. Her opinion and $3 will buy her a drink.

Speaking of what coaches think, I was listening to a ESPN radio program yesterday, and the interviewee related a story about the late North Carolina State coach Jim Valvano.

Valvano was furious with some of the calls the refs were making during a game. So during a stop in play, he called one of the refs over, and asked him if he could get a technical foul for what he was thinking.
The ref told him no. So Valvano said: "good!, cause I think YOU SUCK". Boy I sure do miss Jimmy.

Well, you don't expect her to say her player is not as good as that little pipsqueak from CT, do you?

Hey Coach Schaefer was pretty quick to lay the praise on Mo. He knows what's up.

 

[SallyH]

I suppose I should at least be grateful that Muffett's not saying we have five Moriah Jeffersons.

 

[huskeynut]

And Muffett has also said Turner is the best player in the country. So no surprise and no big deal. Just Muffett being Muffett.

 

[CCinCT]

I don't really care what Muffet says, or thinks, as long as she claps at the appropriate times during presentations.

CARN: always enjoy your stuff on here - and Happy Easter. But tell me, where are you finding those drinks for three bucks? And does that charge inflate or deflate as a function of Muffet's opinion of the day? Lastly, are we talkin CoolAide here or something more substantial?

That quote actually came from the legendary Abe Lemons, then coaching at Oklahoma City U. in the late '60's,early '70's.

On my very soul I pray we destroy ND for #11.

 

[msf22b]

Next week, she will say Allen is the best point guard in Indiana

Next week, they both will be playing golf...
If things continue as they have.

 

[ivrytontusker]

Do we really need to be this sensitive and freak out over nothing? Makes we wonder what will happen when Geno retires.

So? "The best guard in the country" is going to the final four. If she can buy a ticket.

 

[huskeynut]

Muffet doesn't have to worry now. She gets to go home until next year!!!!!!

OK, I guess Jimmy borrowed it, because the way I relayed to you, was the way the guy on the radio told it.

 

[BigBird]

What do you bet that ESPN picks her up as a commentator/analyst? I dearly hope not.

Oh happy day!!! I'm having whatever Muffet is having. whoo hoo!

Jen to the rescue!

How can they possibly lose! I thought she had the best player and point guard in the country?

They were playing against the Samuelson family.
