Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 2071560, member: 6911"] Feinberg: "COACH: The favorite and overwhelming choice is UConn’s Geno Auriemma. No one, including him, expected the Huskies to keep their winning streak going this season after the top-ranked team graduated three of the best players in school history. Yet, here they are, 29-0 with a 104 consecutive victories. This might be Auriemma’s best coaching job in a long while." Best coaching job "in a long while"? No, "ever." Even for the Great Geno Auriemma, this season represents his finest coaching job ever. He's even surpassed his own expectations. This season has been nothing short of amazing. Just look at all the top basketball programs that lined up to take on UConn after the Big Three left, having refused to play him before this season. Yet home or away, UConn defeated all of them. And without a real post player, without a starting front court player taller than 6'1" (KLS is more of a guard), having lost its top three scorers from the previous season, and with only one freshman coming in to contribute seriously, and she having been lost to the team for long stretches due to injury. Best coaching job of his career. Hands down. [/QUOTE]
