Coach Calhoun tells it how it is "sometimes the ladies get the better of us"

Jim Calhoun, the head coach of the UConn men's basketball team, has so much respect for the women's team that he and Coach Auriemma regularly have the mens and womens teams scrimmage against each other in practice and as Calhoun admits "sometimes the ladies get the better of us". Last I checked the UConn mens team was undefeated and ranked in the top 5 so if the lady huskies can hang with the men they can play with any mens team in the land. So maybe the winning record means a lot more than many of you chauvinist pigs would like it to.

Do you believe everything you hear?

And sometimes a 24 minute 5ker can hang with a 15 minute 5ker in practice. Why not basketball.

Certainly you weren't suggesting that if they played a real game they would "get the better of them"?

Jim Calhoun also said he wasnt guilty of NCAA violations he was later found guilty of...

That does not mean they beat them, just that the ladies play smarter and the men are making a lot mistakes. It's a nice way to pay a compliment to the women's team without going into details of how they stomp all over them.

My son fences, his common opponent at practice is a girl his age who is EXCELLENT. If/when he "tries" his best he scores at will (I know that sound bad) she can't score at all.

When he eases up and tries some different things to practice, she hangs with him.
