@Ty4EverMe @byBDavis You see whites with a black person as their profile picture defending Geno… no but let’s be real the country is majority white so most places share Connecticut’s demographics 🤦

@WokeandPresent @byBDavis I have seen many fans both black and white defend Geno. The one thing they all have in common is that they are UConn fans. Obviously more UConn fans are white. Have you ever been to Connecticut?

Not defending Geno by any stretch but ESPN showed the scorer’s table video of him waiting on Dawn after the player intros, as is custom. That’s what he’s referring to, where he stood there for nothing (getting his ego hurt, probably). Still, c’mon Geno. Ridiculous.

@UConnWBB @bostonradio This is bad he intentionally doesn’t mention Dawn by name 🤔

Statement from Head Coach Geno Auriemma

@Ty4EverMe @byBDavis It’s not about it being stacked against anybody 🤦 it’s only about holding individuals accountable for their actions instead of making excuses for them when they are wrong… you’re playing the victim card by not wanting obvious pointed out just look at who’s defending Geno

@WokeandPresent @byBDavis I never said race was never a factor. In fact, I said that injecting it when it is not helps to invalidate it when it is very relevant. Your attitude plays into the hands of a racist. You believe its always stacked against just because of your skin color. They believe the same.

@MattA1100 @etanthomas36 Racist only want it to be about race when it’s convenient for them

Geno deserves all of this for how he acted

@Coach_Hickey5 These are unwritten rules maybe coaches should call each other before the game to coordinate such things… but this is an issue you handle after the game privately now the players moment is ruined but that was probably his plan all along take the focus away from the loss

This was last year. She came out finally. This year she did not.

@Ty4EverMe @byBDavis Yet there are some such as yourself that would like society to stop viewing things that are clearly based on race through that lens when it’s convenient for them so they can continue to be racist with impunity

@WokeandPresent @byBDavis There are racist amongst all races that do not possess the ability to look past race. Your own statement above makes my point for me.

@Ty4EverMe @byBDavis The difference is if dawn had acted that way both sides would be calling her out see black people don’t have an issue holding other black people accountable when they are clearly wrong some whites lack this ability

@WokeandPresent @byBDavis I have seen fans of both races defend and condemn Geno's actions. The only difference is who they are a fan of. Did I say race is never a factor? No, but race is not always a factor unless you make it that way. You are allowing yourself to think exactly how a racist would want.

@SEisbergWCIV Some Whites will always try to defend other whites no matter the circumstances 🤦 shouldn’t matter what she said there was not a technical issued to either coach… why is a man coaching in women’s sports I thought we wanted men out of women athletics 🤔

I do kind of want to know what kind of names Dawn Staley calls the refs in all fairness here.

@Ty4EverMe @byBDavis Stop lying to yourself

@WokeandPresent @byBDavis This is not a Black/White thing. This is a UCon fans/rest of the country thing. Only a Ucon fan can justify this in their head.

@jemelehill Men in womens sports doesn’t apply to coaches 🤔

This is the best recruiting video for South Carolina.

@HaterReport I thought we didn’t want men in women sports I guess coaching is allowed 🤔

Look how different Geno Auriemma acted with Dawn Staley last year when UConn won LMFAOO Ain’t no fun when the rabbit got the gun 😂🤣

@SNYUConn That makes no sense b/c that means mid majors will get more talented high school players and even some extremely talented high school players mid majors will be a farm system for majors high school athletes will still have opportunities

"The portal and the revenue share, I think that was the death of the mid-majors." Geno Auriemma talks about the struggles of mid-majors in the NCAA Tournament and how bigger programs use the transfer portal to get players from smaller schools:

This just keeps getting better and better. Scroll back through my timeline & listen to Strong’s explanation, & then listen to his answer when confronted w the 2 conflicting statements. #GenoAuriemma squirming like a worm in hot ashes and defiant to admit when he’s wrong. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@TreyWallace Ask for an executive order isn’t that what whites do these days when things don’t go their way

Geno Auriemma, on moment in 2nd quarter where he complained to officials about Dawn Staley’s language “I just wanna make sure there’s not a double-standard. I’m of the opinion if I ever talked to an official like that, I would get tossed…Some people are allowed to talk to officials like that and others people are not”

@SundeTigerPuter @js_ace_football @rolandsmartin @realDonaldTrump That doesn’t matter 🤔 I’m saying they should be granted 8yrs as long as they are in rolled in a doctoral program they would still need to be eligible academically… High school kids would still get a shot if they are good enough and more programs would be competitive

@WokeandPresent @js_ace_football @rolandsmartin @realDonaldTrump Carson Beck said on national TV 2 months ago that he hasent taken one college class in 3 years, at two schools lol. He laughed. What about the highschool kids. That want a shot and are young. These guys are in college or they aren’t.

Let me be clear: @realDonaldTrump’s executive order limiting how long athletes can play in college and limiting transfers is 100% UNCONSTITUTIONAL. This executive order will be immediately sued in court. This is a joke. And it’s pathetic.

@keepamericafree @SNYUConn Let me guess your white 🤦

@SNYUConn Geno has never been and never will be a poor sport, however, Staley has been known to play a certain card if things didn’t go her way. SC won with the help of the refs. and the bricks UConn was throwing. Congrats to them.

"The protocol is, before the game, you meet at halfcourt, anybody ever see that before? The two coaches meet at halfcourt and they shake hands... they announce it on the loud speaker. I waited there for like three minutes." - Geno Auriemma

@espn All the whites will be on Geno’s side

"I'm not making excuses because we can't make a shot. But this is ridiculous." Geno Auriemma had this to say on the officiating in the Final Four.
