Wow Geno has won this award 10 times .

Because they didn’t start until 1999 for the women.

And...Hurley gets to play a round of golf on one of the best courses in
the country! Uhh...Dan...if they give you a choice, play their West Course...though
The East is mighty fine too.

Please get a Sharpie and take Carolyn Peck's name off of that list.

Interesting quotes from an article ... amusing that Mulkey accuses Geno of centering himself above all others.

"I've accomplished a lot here," Hurley noted. "The one thing I've failed at miserably is bringing those two men (Calhoun and Auriemma) together. I thought I had a shot tonight."

Indeed, neither was in the building, though they were hardly forgotten. During her speech prior to Hurley's, Mulkey quipped: "I'm glad you're here and not Geno. Man, I'm just tired of looking at him. Tell him I said that."

After noting that Hurley's best recruiting job yet was his "gorgeous" wife, and that "nothing is greater than coaching your kids," Mulkey, dressed in a somewhat conservative (for her) pink blazer and slacks, took one more dig at Auriemma.

"Let's hope Dan is short-winded," she said, just before leaving the podium, "and not like Geno and make it all about him."

Well, this is hilarious. Kim Mulkey apparently isn’t satisfied with her team’s position on the athletic podium. Her team not only just won the national championship, but has added important players from the transfer portal, and she’s still thinking about Geno Auriemma, whose team didn’t make it past the Sweet Sixteen round. Way to go Kim!!

I suspect those comments were intended as good-natured ribbing. I've always gotten the sense that Mulkey and Auriemma have a good working relationship.

She was making a joke.

I love it. I know Mulkey is controversial, but I like her personality a lot. You can't like Geno's and not like Kim's....they're sort of alike.

My recollection is that whenever UConn played Baylor there were frequent friendly conversations before games...they seemed to hit it off.

Throw a little reflective striping on that suit and she's good for working in a highway construction zone.
