Auriemma Says Summitt, “Doesn’t Have Courage”
Who said women’s basketball wasn’t physical?
Continuing the tired story of why the Tennessee/Connecticut series was canceled by Tennessee, UConn Coach Geno Auriemma said that Pat Summitt knows why the series was canceled and said that she “doesn’t have the courage to say it publicly.”.
“Yawn”.
These two fight like my mom and dad used to when bill-paying time came around. Somebody needs to tell Geno that it’s no big secret around Knoxville as to why the series got canceled. You’re a cheat:
UConn officials said in March they self-reported a secondary violation of NCAA rules in connection with a 2005 ESPN studio tour that the women’s basketball office arranged for then-top recruit Maya Moore.
There have also been all kinds of “rumors” about UConn putting Moore’s mom up in a home/condo and giving her a job, but all that is just that, rumors. In spite of that, I for one was against the cancellation of the series, as there is not a comparable game in women’s basketball in terms of mass appeal, and as a sport that consistently loses money at most of it’s programs, the game needs all of the media attention and money that it can get and the game was bigger than either of these two programs.
I still think they should settle things the way that God and Dana White intended.
In the cage.
Either that, or they need to just get it on and get it over with.
