UConn associate head coach Chris Dailey made par on four holes today during the Travelers Pro-Am. And afterward she took some time to speak with the media …
On the employment discrimination lawsuit facing Geno Auriemma:
“I have worked with him for 27 years and I don’t think I need to see anything more than that to speak about his character or anything else.’’
On UConn sophomore center Kiah Stokes, who underwent surgery on her right foot last month:
“It’s going to be a process. She’s still in a boot. But her spirits are good. I know she’s going to stay both summer sessions to give herself a chance to rehab. So the medical part of it, and when she does what, we have no control over. That’s determined by the trainers and doctor. But she seems to be in good spirits.’’
On sophomore guard Brianna Banks:
“Brianna Banks is like a different kid. She’s different academically, basketball-wise. Just in the office more. She’s probably been in the office more the last three weeks than probably all last year. She just has a different comfort level. After having gone through it I just think she’s in a really good place. It’s great. And I don’t know how it translates into basketball. It translates into growing up, which is really nice to see. That will help basketball because she will approach things differently and in the right way. So it’s great to see.’’
On whether or not she had a conversation with Banks that sparked a change:
“There’s always conversations. You can talk until you’re blue in the face, but until kids internalize and they make a change and they understand it doesn’t matter. And she seems to have done that now. Hopefully, it’ll continue through the whole summer and send her into the fall.’’
On freshmen Moriah Jefferson, Breanna Stewart and Morgan Tuck:
“The freshmen are doing well. They have a nice way about them.’’

What is she confused about which is it? She’s an associate head coach. She knows what she’s doing so how is she confused? You don’t seem like a fan so why bother coming here? Nice to hear the freshman are doing well.
“And I don’t know how it translates into basketball. … That will help basketball because she will approach things differently and in the right way.”
CD sounds very confused
