Did you know @GenoAuriemma interviewed for DePaul women's job in 1984. Or that he later tried to get the Duke job? #UConnwmen #gulpWon

(Wonder what Triad and Cam will make of this????)

The DePaul job is news, at least to me. The story that Geno contacted Duke to coach its women's team has been out there for several years. As I recall the story, Geno reached out to Duke and was told to submit a resume. This was after Geno had led UConn to its first Final Four in 1991.

Do you wonder why DUKE is what it is?........Somebody will wake up a smell the roses in Durham soon.........How many AA will they get next season to sit on their bench....When I watch Coach P more interested in how much her players bench press over anything else, I knew they were in deep trouble.....How about getting your players to understand there is 40 minutes in a game......How did I get side tracked?............

This is news to me! Never heard this before.

And now I feel worse.

I thought that he expressed interest in the Duke job after the first NC. That would make it even more wow.

Kind of makes all of us a bit queezy.

No. GG was coach 1992-2007. The timing matches what UConnCat said - just after the final 4 in 91.
