I dunno, there's such great stuff here about an incredibly inventive and restless coach combined with such old world superstitious silliness. Maybe the only way to prevent the future loss that is coming is to lose one now? Would that make Geno happy?
In short, the “secret” to UConn’s unparalleled success this season may be a coach who, despite winning more championships and consecutive games than anyone else in college basketball history, spends most of his time thinking about preventing the next loss rather than celebrating the next win.
“I just know that something is coming,” Auriemma told Sportscenter Tuesday morning before UConn’s defiant victory over USF. “The more games we win in a row, we’re getting closer to our next loss.”
