ROCKY HILL, Conn. – As has been well chronicled, this has been a tough year for Geno Auriemma, personally and, by UConn women’s basketball standards, at least, professionally.
But just as his team has weathered storms and bounced back, about to begin another NCAA Tournament, so has the coach. Auriemma, who turns 69 on March 23, says he will be back for a 39th season.
“Yes,” Auriemma told The Courant with a hearty laugh Monday morning, after his speech at the Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce breakfast. “I’m coming back next year. I’m not going anywhere.”
