Few coaches will ever be able to compare their success to Geno Auriemma.
Since taking over UConn in the mid-1990s, Auriemma has taken the Huskies on an all-time quarter-century-plus run. Over 1,100 wins. 22 Final Four’s. A pipeline of countless larger-than-life stars who first made their hay under his tutelage.
But between the victories and overall program development, Auriemma could most hang his hat on one specific, unimpeachable mark: An 11-0 record in National Championship Games. Undefeated. A big fat zero in the loss column every time his team has reached the last boss of the last level. It’s an incredible achievement.
