Ask Auriemma about coaching Stewart at the Olympics, how was that different right after her UConn career. Different than coaching Maya Moore or Diana Taurasi or the other UConn alumni Olympians?
"She's the only player on the team I could still coach," Auriemma said with a little smile. "The others I had to negotiate with. Stewie, [Elena] Delle Donne and Brittney Griner, I could coach them. All the others, you negotiate a peace treaty at the beginning and then you manage it through the rest of the tournament."
