“She’s getting tougher,” Auriemma said. “We’ve gotten rid of a lot of her California nonsense. It’s like when we had Diana Taurasi. I’d tell her, ‘We do not win games based on many times you get to shoot a 3-pointer.’ It was defense and rebounding, and she turned out all right.”
Connecticut’s 11th women’s NCAA title and its absolute strangehold on the game makes coach Geno Auriemma the Sportsman of the Year
“Last year we kept talking about winning four (NCAA titles) in a row. No one had done that before,” Auriemma said. “It’s always about going after something, because we have that target on our back anyway.
“This year I hesitated to talk about our standard. We had a lot of young players. We weren’t going to be as deep. I didn’t know if it was fair to them to approach it the same way. But the way it looks now, they’ve played so well that it would be disrespectful not to ask the same things out of them.”
Pretty nifty article.
