On the night Geno Auriemma officially became the winningest coach in college basketball history, he received an incredible gift worthy of his stature in the ranks of the sport from Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont.
UConn's women's basketball team's dominant 85–41 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson secured career win No. 1,217 for Auriemma. That vaulted him ahead of former Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer on the all-time leaderboard, cementing his place in the game's history.
