As Geno approaches age 60...

-Immediate after leading our country’s team to an Olympic Gold Medal in Aug 2012, Coach Auriemma then leads UConn into an unprecedented sixth straight Final Four, and also brings home yet another NCAA WCBB National Championship in April.

-Not to be outdone, the very next month, the combined brain trust of his alert fan base wraps up their season analysis – sadly concluding, the game indeed appears to be passing him by.

Arty155 - GREAT POST!

One of the joys of teaching and/or coaching is that you have a whole new group of students/athletes every year. The challenges and the joys are always moving and "refreshing" your life.

The flip side of the coin is that kids who bring unique joys into your life move on.
What is really fun is that new special kids fill the seats left open. Thus you lose a Taurasi or a Bird --- and you gain a Maya or a Stewie --- and soon an Ekmark.

Geno's "work" is never boring.

As Wooderson would say, "I get older, they stay the same age."

I'm not sure the sixth consecutive Final Four got the play it deserved, or maybe I missed it.

Understandable, that making the Final Four gets second billing when you win the NC, but six in a row!!! Never done before. Never.

When something notable has never been done before, it deserves some coverage.

It got a lot of play when they were talking about Stanford potentially setting the record. Not so much when UCONN did it.

To put this accomplishment in to perspective, another program that has won 8 NCs and is in the discussion for best ever has now missed 5 consecutive Final Fours.
