Wednesday night was a celebration of the greatness of Geno Auriemma, who became the winningest basketball coach in NCAA history with the UConn Huskies' 85-41 win over Fairleigh Dickinson at Gampel Pavilion. But it was also a celebration of Auriemma's longtime associate head coach Chris Dailey, who has paced the sidelines alongside Auriemma since 1988, winning 11 NCAA national championships in tandem with the decorated coach.
So, it was only right that Dailey, in her 40th season in Storrs, was recognized with Auriemma, who among other things, was honored with a road sign in his name and joined at the ceremony by a live goat, in a nod to the GOAT (greatest of all time) acronym.
