One More Golden Moment For Taurasi Bird And Geno
“It has definitely evolved – probably more from the players’ standpoint,” Bird said. “He probably sees us as the same. For us, it’s almost like he goes from your dad, to your cool uncle, and then to a friend. Now, we just have a really good relationship. We can talk about anything. But there is a shift. The adult Auriemma is a little more R-rated – if that’s possible."
“On my [UConn] team,” Auriemma said,” I don’t get to have my starting 2 guard come up to me and go, ‘This (bleep) ain’t gonna work.’ If I don’t have Taurasi telling me that, I don’t feel like I’m doing a good job. I need to be reminded that you aren’t as good as you think you are.”
