A fun walk through their relationship with Geno.

Is the key to success bladder control?

“During that whole four hours, Geno never gave an inch on his argument until he was beginning to win me over,” Jacobs says. “‘Who died and made you moral gatekeeper?’—stuff like that. The other thing is, I had to get up and take a piss at least twice during this episode. Geno never needed to excuse himself once. I think sometimes people forget the steely eyed competitiveness that Geno possesses and that is at the heart of his program’s success.”

This article writer: "As a gesture of gratitude, I called over a waiter and selected a $70 bottle of red to be sent over to the Auriemma table. “Tell the man,” I said, “that it’s from the guy who has been a pain in the ass all winter.”

The waiter took my credit card and disappeared. About 15 minutes later he returned with my bill, which stated that I had purchased a $395 bottle of champagne. “The gentleman said that you were a much bigger pain in the ass than that,” said the waiter.

And then Geno and Kathy invited me over for a drink

Awesome story... shocked they kept the word piss in there and did not try to find another way of phrasing it....
