Men's scrimmage teams beat the UConn women's team every day

They beat our ass every day... These guys will all be like college players, like Division III, Division II. And they end up coming to school for whatever reason. They came to Connecticut. These guys are good players. So now, anytime it's a test of physical prowess, of course they're going to win. Of course they're going to win. I mean, that's a no-brainer.

It is standard practice for elite women's teams to scrimmage against men's practice squads, and Geno is reporting the results of those sessions.

UConn Women's Basketball expects to win the national championship every single year

We expect to win the national championship every year. We know it's not possible... You're trying to put yourself in a position to have a shot every year, not to have these, you know, well, this is a rebuilding year.

Geno has won 11 national championships, confirming that this expectation is the reality of the program.

Men's college basketball is more physical than the NBA

Every NBA coach will tell you that men's college basketball is more physical than the NBA... they still let you beat the shit out of each other instead of calling the fouls that they call in the NBA.

This is a frequent point of debate among coaches and analysts; college ball often allows more 'hand-checking' and post-contact than the modern NBA.

Steph Curry would not be as successful if NBA refs allowed the physicality of college basketball

You think if they let – If they let guys in the NBA handle Steph Curry the way they handle college kids in college, he'd be able to do what he does? Absolutely not.

Subjective, though Curry's skill level likely transcends physicality, as seen in his ability to handle physical playoff defenses.

I would coach the New York Knicks

[Big Cat]: The New York Knicks... would you coach them? [Geno]: Sure. I love New York.

He never coached the Knicks, but as an expression of interest at that moment, it stands.

The NFL is the toughest sport to coach in the world

To me, the toughest sport to coach is the NFL. So those guys, to me, are the best coaches in the world.

Subjective opinion on coaching difficulty.
