Never have six words spoken so loudly. [B]Geno Auriemma[/B] will coach his 1,202nd game with the UConn women’s basketball team Sunday when the fifth-ranked Huskies host California in their regular season opener at Gampel Pavilion. For the 1,202nd time, the six words will be written on the board: “It’s a mantra,” former UConn point guard [B]Sue Bird[/B] said. “You don't even have to say those words and you can ask a Connecticut player, ‘What does Coach Auriemma say? What’s the last thing Coach Auriemma tells you before you go on the court? What’s on almost every t-shirt that they give you?’ It’s 'Play hard, play smart, have fun.’ “It’s pretty self-explanatory. But the difference for a lot of programs, a lot of players, is sometimes they can be just words. He lives by it. He holds you accountable.” [CENTER]_______________________________________[/CENTER] Nice article about Coach.
