I am far from the UCONN Campus, so any first hand experience regarding the UCONN Woman’s basketball program is purely speculative from my point-of-view, based upon limited experience and research. However I am curious about the male practice players. Mostly invisible, save for a video now and then of a UCONN practice with the men in action. They are UNKNOWN. However, I get the strong impression that they are a very important part of the training process.
I assume these guys are carefully chosen and work really hard. I have only heard a name one time when Geno, on a tape of a practice session, mentioned that this one guy, whose name I forgot, was a deadly three-point shooter. And, one other time there was a brief mention of a dinner or some sort of celebration, at the end of the year, for these male practice players as a token of the team’s appreciation for all they do.
Most of what we see - THE GAME - is really only a fraction of the program. There are so many other crucial elements that are responsible for the incredible excellence that is the finished product.
Thank you to the Men behind the UCONN Woman for your unselfish contribution towards the success of the incredible human machine currently destroying everything in its path towards HISTORY.
