Mike Anthony: Geno Auriemma At Center Of A World Exhausting Itself In Analysis Of UConn Basketball
"He leaned back, feet up at times, sneakers atop a desk that supports a basketball signifying his 1,000th victory and a large jar of foil-wrapped chocolates.
“Geno's Happy Pills,” reads the label, clearly a heartfelt production, not necessarily a professional one, featuring an image of Geno Auriemma with his hands to his cheeks, all joy or all stress or something in between. His players said he needed them."
"So the rationale is, if you're going to lose, we're going to need you to get blown out,” Auriemma said. “It doesn't matter how many top-10 teams you beat. So we won 72 games [the past two years] because we have better players, but we lost two because I was outcoached. But then there's something wrong with basketball because we have all the best players and we win all the time and that's bad. But if you lose, it's because you can't coach. That's the world we live in."
