"As his players went through the mixed zone, one after another, with gold medals around their necks, Auriemma did something out of character. Someone asked him how it felt to win a gold medal, the most obvious of questions.
“It’s really hard to put into words,” he said.
And there it was. As the most recent coach of the most dominant team in basketball, the team that made winning its tradition, the team that has not lost in 20 years, most of Saturday felt routine, because the United States women have made winning that. But Auriemma not able to put something into words?
Now there was a first. "
