Geno Auriemma was on the golf course one morning during the offseason in 1999. The UConn women's basketball coach was on edge because he was expecting an important call, but he didn't know exactly when it would come in. So he explained to Dave, his playing partner, that he might have to suddenly step away for a few moments in the middle of the round.

Moments later, Auriemma's phone rang. It was Diana Taurasi.

"So there we are, on the golf course, and all of a sudden my phone rings, and I pick it up, and it's Diana," Auriemma said. "I hang up and Dave goes, 'How did it go?' I said, 'Well, we just got the best player in the country, maybe someone who can become one of the best players in the history of college basketball.' And he goes, 'No way.' I said, 'Yep, you heard it here first.' It was an amazing moment, and then it was back to golf."
