It’s about us, it’s not about you. We want you to become an All-American, but [B]we want you to do it within the team framework[/B].’ ” Auriemma has coached 10 multiple All-Americans, including Diana Taurasi, whom he called the best player he’s ever coached. Auriemma, a six-time Naismith National Coach of the Year, guided UConn to back-to-back undefeated seasons in 2008-09 and 2009-10 and an incredible 90-game winning streak. “We win because we get the best players,” Auriemma said. “We win because we demand more out of them, and we work harder than anyone. The best don’t just practice until they get it right, they practice so much it’s impossible for them to get it wrong.[/I]” [URL="http://www.telegram.com/article/20130424/news/104249970"]Geno Auriemma explains what it takes to win[/URL] [/QUOTE]
