I just don't see it this way (Geno A. trying to put Tamika down). Tamika I'm sure doesn't see it this way.
This issue seems to have some on this board rooting against the USA, which is hard for me to understand.
The Candace snub, based on basketball talent, was not defensible in any way (which is why they should have just been honest and said why they really left her off). But watching this USA team romp really should have elicited major pride for those in this country that love the sport. I wish Geno wasn't coaching so that people could get past that and just be happy for the team (this team did not need him at all to win).
The real reason to be concerned from the Tennessee Volunteer perspective is that outside of Candace (now an 8 year pro), there really are no Lady Vols on the short list to play for Team USA in the foreseeable future. This perhaps is one of the biggest indicators of how the program has dropped off since Pat got sick.
