They've won the last four titles, which means to win a title you have to beat UConn. Your b***ing about it doesn't change that fact....

Well, that answers my question, since a NC is not in the cards any time soon. Maybe after some talent and coaching arrive.

Gule, I don't think gulley has the character to leave. Gulley has falsely accused Candace of being the cause of "friction". He has called LV fans crazy, obtuse, ignorant, ugly, bitter, and small-minded. He has used the term "feces" in describing posts made by LV fans. He has falsely accused me of posting on the boneyard. All this from a newbie who stated that posting here was a waste of his time.

You've already had several of your posts deleted by the mods, gulley. Keep it up. This race to the bottom you speak of has already been won by you.

True, Jeff, you see how well chosen his screen name is:p.

To rephrase one of your posts, what do Cash and Jones have to do with Parker?

But to answer you, who knows, Maybe and maybe not. And from what I remember Parker was on that team too.

IMO the coach should be able to pick whomever they want. Especially the most successful coach in wbb. Or do you think the team should be picked by a vote of fans?

From what I remember LV fans have had a bug up their bums about UConn players since Lobo was put on the 1996 team and have found any excuse to criticize any UConn grads since then. And if you think that has nothing to do with Tenn's record against UConn in championship games ( 0-4) then keep telling yourself that.

He can pick who he wants to pick. It's his team. My problem with him is OWN UP to it and not hide behind the Olympic committee.

Everything. The common denominator is auriemma. Cash even thanked him for allowing her to be on the team. Auriemma picks Cash and Jones but doesn't pick Parker. But you already know all this. You're continual postings to the contrary just make you look foolish.

Parker was on the team with Cash and Jones. And I still have seen no evidence that Geno picked the 2016 team. But a fan base that "knows" that he kept her off the 2016 team still hasn't shown any evidence that he has the least bit of animosity towards her. I'm still waiting for one LV fan to post a quote or even a third-hand bit of gossip supporting that. Or is the evidence hidden in that house Geno bought for Katherine Moore?

To quote one of my pals from The Summitt days, "I wouldn't piss on his head (GA) if his brains were on fire." I agree, would be a total waste of urine! Lobo tries to defend his treatment of Parker, pathetic. Taurasi is the worst excuse for an Olympic team member that ever existed...dui's, flinging her medals while playing in Europe, leads the WNBA in technical every season, can't use 2 words in a sentence without one of them being the "F" word...sadly, this crap is what has USA across the jersey...pretty damn sad!

So what's your point? Mine was that Geno picked Cash and Jones in 2012, and didn't pick Parker in 2016. But you knew that already. In a way it's kind of fun watching you try to evade the point.

It would be just as true but equally evasive to say that Geno picked Parker in 2012 and didn't pick Cash or Jones in 2016.

All three were picked in 2012 and none were picked in 2016. That hardly supports your viewpoint that Geno favors his players. But then logic and reason have never played much of a role in many Tenn fans' opinion of UConn and their coach. :)

CP is way better now than Cash and Jones were in 2012. That's the point we're making about how he favors his players.

In 2012 Parker Cash and Jones were all on the team.

In 2016 none of the three are on the team.

How does that prove that Geno favors his players?



Go back to the 1984 team and you will see 2 Tenn players on the squad picked by Summitt. We can just as easily say that if anyone else was the coach they wouldn't have been on the team. Nor would Darsch have been an assistant coach. Does that prove that Pat was biased? Because that's what you use to accuse Geno. That simply because he has CT players on his team it proves he was/is biased.

I always thought that the US Olympic teams were a representation of the best players we had to offer. Putting together a collection of the best 12 players. Seeing how little time our teams would have to prepare was always a problem of concern. But in the end, the result was winning the gold. I think the 2016 team will win the gold, but it won't be the best team we could have put together. One day, it might come back to haunt us. The other countries are closing the gap. Lots of talent in the world. Remember, it happened to our men's team.
I'm just saying.

Guys,responding to link steer just gives him an excuse to post more fatuous comments. It's like talking to a closed door/mind. Just let him/her stew.

False.

The 6-5 Cindy Noble helped defeat the Soviets the year prior to the '84 Olympics. That Pan Am team was coached by Fran Garmon. Noble brought National Team experience and international experience from playing in Europe to the '84 Games.

Lea Henry brought Gold Medal experience from the World University Games in Edmonton held also in 1983. Her knowledge of Summitt's system was a plus but not the "gamebreaker".

Summitt could have included Mary Ostrowski and/or Sheila Collins and/or Tanya Haave had she wanted to wag the nepotism card (like Aurienema did). Respectively, any one of those would have been a talented contributor at her position.

It's called common sense. Is there any person in the world that thinks if she went to UConn she wouldn't be on the team? Don't even try to pretend.

They say she is no longer the best at her position but she has played as well or better than 2 of those who replaced her. I can't wait to see how she fairs against the team that has 4 olympians on the team.

No, of course not. I wasn't trying to suggest that. My comment was simply to show how silly it was to say that the fact that both Jones and Cash were on the 2012 team while Parker isn't on the 2016 team somehow proves that Parker was left off the team due to Geno's bias. Now if you want to say that Parker would be a better player on the team than the UConn players who made it then at least you be making some sense. I can't see how guards Bird and Taurasi were picked over Parker. So it comes down to Stewart, Charles and Moore. And both Moore and Charles belong so now it's just Stewart. Parker is certainly more experienced than Stewart but USA basketball has a long-standing policy of maintaining continuity by putting an uber-talented recent college grad on the team. And Stewart's play early in this WNBA season supports the committee's choice. EDD? Last year's MVP? Nope, she belongs. What it comes down to is Parker or Catchings. Catchings is past her prime. She's older than Bird, who many feel shouldn't be on the team. But Catchings has all the intangibles that Parker lacks. And USA basketball rewards players that have supported them over their careers. I can almost guarantee that if Geno could have had any one LV player on his UConn teams it would have been Catchings. Now if that is what you all call bias so be it.



And as far as those who state as fact that Geno alone picked the 2016 team and kept Parker off the squad out of animus, I say that you all sound just like your fellow fans in 2007 who "knew for certain" that Geno cheated to sign Moore because "why else would she choose UConn over Tenn". It's the same old LV crap; "we hate Geno so he must hate us". Proof unnecessary.

Find me some concrete evidence that Geno hates Parker so much that he demanded that the committee blackball her. A committee dominated by WNBA leaders that have zero reason comply with such a demand. Why would WNBA leaders go along with his demand to keep one of the shining faces of the league off the squad? I can't think of one. All I hear being repeated endlessly as proof is that "he had to be behind it" or "anyone who doesn't believe it is blind". Not one shred of actual evidence. Not one quote to that effect by anyone not associated with Parker.

You provide a quote in which Aurienema admonishes the committee for omitting such an All-World talent from the team. If he is such a wonderful coach, he should be comfortable enough to call out the committee members who made his quest for gold a little more challenging????

Parker's omission is deplorable because her dream was to represent her country on this Olympic team, and she had earned the opportunity.

It's deplorable because she is clearly one of the 12 best players in the world--not just in the U.S.

If you want to portray Aurienema as clean and innocent (with all the CT players on this team), you are delusional.

And it's deplorable because at the end of summer all the margins of victories will suggest that her absence didn't hurt the team (because the depth of talent in the U.S. is so abundant and so superior to the competition).

Those are reasons that we are so passionate about the glaring omission.
