Message: [QUOTE="HuskyNan, post: 4269399, member: 4"] No, there was no history. Where do people get this stuff? Amanda Alnutt was a reporter for the student paper and Geno just had a bad response to a question after a loss. [URL='https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwibyb_3ovD2AhXBSzABHVGSBOcQFnoECBkQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.espn.ph%2Fncw%2Fncaatourney03%2Fstory%3Fid%3D1528410&usg=AOvVaw17wCoKqo4T0zoA9C4APStW']Geno apologizes to Amanda Alnutt[/URL] [I]The following spring The Daily Campus again made national headlines. The UConn women's basketball team had set a collegiate record for 70 straight victories before losing to Villanova on March 11, 2003 in the Big East championship. In the postgame press conference, a reporter from a New Jersey paper began by asking UConn head coach [URL='https://thereaderwiki.com/en/Geno_Auriemma']Geno Auriemma[/URL] what he would do to make sure the loss did not linger through the NCAA tournament. After Auriemma answered the somewhat-blasphemous question with an equal amount of sarcasm, The Daily Campus beat writer Amanda Alnutt asked a similar follow-up question. [/I] [LIST] [*][I][I][B]Alnutt:[/B] What are you going to do to make sure that it doesn't happen [again]?[/I][/I] [*][I][I][B]Auriemma:[/B] You ask a lot of questions that really piss me off. You're too young to ask those questions. Older guys can ask me questions that piss me off. You're too young. You see, this is just a game. It's not the end of the world. But every question you ask is like, 'We should cancel the season now because we lost.' Relax.[/I][/I] [*][I][I][B]Alnutt:[/B] You don't think you need to do anything to prepare your team for that? They just lost and now they have to go into the NCAA tournament?[/I][/I] [*][I][I][B]Auriemma:[/B] So what does every game have to do with the rest? We lost a game today. We just won 70 straight. Did that have anything to do with this one?[URL='https://thereaderwiki.com/en/The_Daily_Campus#cite_note-2'][2][/URL][/I][/I] [/LIST] [I]The clip was replayed on ESPN's [URL='https://thereaderwiki.com/en/SportsCenter']SportsCenter[/URL] repeatedly in the days following and was featured prominently on shows such as ESPN's Pardon the Interruption. Auriemma received plenty of criticism for his handling of the situation. Auriemma would later meet with Alnutt personally and apologize, and also wrote about the incident in his autobiography, remarking that he wished he had spoken to her privately instead of chastising her in front of the press[/I].
