Message: [QUOTE="VillageHusky, post: 2664666, member: 6636"] Although the story was fairly long by the standard of a sports piece, I found it fascinating and insightful on multiple levels, not least of which is how ridiculous and exacting are the expectations that the UConn Women’s basketball program has created as its norm. The fact those expectations have been met for so many years and that the program’s graduates continue to sing its praises is a testament to the genius, will and empathy of its coach and leader. Excellence of the heights and duration attained by UConn Women’s basketball is an outgrowth of the uniqueness of Coach Auriemma’s charisma, brains and discipline. The article shows clearly that price paid for this excellence is borne not only by the players and the assistant coaches but most certainly by the coach who is the creator and the beating heart of UConn Women’s basketball. Thank you so much for posting the link to the article. [/QUOTE]
