U Conn Again!
A huge congratulations to the University of Connecticut (U Conn) women’s basketball team, and their outstanding head coach, whats-his-name.
At the beginning of the season U Conn was deemed the best in the nation, and the logical pick to win the national championship.
So how did they do? They won all 39 games by double-digits, and with it the national championship.
A few years back U Conn did NOT win the championship. Tennessee did.
And only a few decades before that, neither Tennessee nor U Conn won the championship.
I am not besmirching women’s basketball, but if you want interest in a sport to grow, you have to have more that two champions over a 20 year span.
Utterly predictable will not win converts. None, not even ONE, of U Conn’s games this year was closer than 10 points. What kind of office pool would that make?
“Well, we had 219 people in our pool this year, but they all chose U Conn. I guess it’s a tie.”
My favorite comment came right after the game from a national sports commentator, about how great a coach whats-his-name is…… “He gets all the best players, and makes them into a great team.”
Wow! Now THAT is coaching!!! He can overcome the handicap of having all the best players, and still win!
