Geno Auriemma Legacy Show

[Icebear]

Geno's questions were at the half. He then let her play in the second and laughingly said she had a triple double tearing up the opponent.

Anyone have an idea where Geno was considering a change to..back in early 90's.? I'm so very glad it didn't pan out.

I read somewhere not long ago a quote by Geno where he was interested in the Duke womens program (I believe this was before they hired Goestenkors) but I dont recall all the details, but I will see if I can find it.

Chris Dailey went after Rutgers but withdrew her name to stay with UConn. She also did look at BC, but said it wasnt a good fit. I am glad she has stayed...I dont think it would be the same without her. Hers & Geno's chemistry is amazing!

I really hate I missed this show.

Those posters that are criticizing Auriemma for benching players should be forced to listen to Shea Ralph's description of her benching in her freshman year. As the 6th man for most of the year she watched other players being subbed in while she sat. When the "walk on" went in she got pissed.

After the game Auriemma asked her how many points she scored. Ralph responded none, when he asked how many rebounds, she got even more pissed. She replied none. Auriemma told her that was the same number of points and rebounds she had made in the last 3 practices.

Message received. I don't think Ralph ever sat again.

and she went on to 'nearly get a triple double' in the 2nd half.

I think the Duke opening was touched on in The Same River Twice. The Duke job opened up after the '91 season and Geno expressed interest after just taking UConn to its first Final Four. He was told to send a resume. Duke hired Goestenkors.

If only Duke had hired Auriemma/Dailey, I would be a season ticket holder, ha! I went to the Duke/UNC game Sunday -- it was intense but nothing compared to last night's UConn/ND game, wow!
