People have asked me how could I defend Geno.
Let me be clear. At no point did I defend his actions Friday night. It was childish and a low moment. That said, I have defended the assassination of his character and all the pedestal everyone is putting Staley on.
What Geno did was wrong, and he knows it, Dawn isn't innocent. She took the bait and threated him in front of the world. She also acts like a child, what Geno was accused of, every single game on the sideline. We saw it in last year's championship game and we see it in every game, the way she berates the refs and throws herself around. Geno called her out on it in the 3rd quarter.
And before people play the race or sexist card on me, like you all did Friday night, I've said the same thing about Kim Mulkey, Dan Hurley, and even my own coach, Todd Golden. I had 4th row seats to see Hurley and Golden act like idiots to the refs at MSG earlier this year.
All great coaches, but they need to be role models as well. Stop acting like crazies on the sideline. Say what you want about Geno the other night, but he doesn't act like that during the games. He is the reason Women's hoops are where they are and why we are even talking about it.
Friday was NOT about race or gender. It was two fierce competitors who let it get out of hand. No one likes losing at that level. And it's over with. Move on.

@airfrance lost our bags. It was never put on the plane from Florence back to JFK via CDG. We have filed a claim 24 hours ago and apparently the bags are still in Florence. No one is telling us when they will be delivered. Is this how you treat your Diamond medallion customers? @CallStaff61500
