Auriemma has had personal beefs with a whole bunch of coaches, Pat Summitt, Muffet McGraw, Tara VanDervee, Staley. The common thread? Geno Auriemma. Seems like he takes everything personal.

He disliked Jim Calhoun too.
And, ffs, can we stop with the in-game interviews already? It was a bad idea before last night, time to put this to bed.

It’s tough when you’re used to beating mostly glorified high school level teams by 70 points and then you lose to a program that has comparable talent and is coached by a person who isn’t intimidated. And yeah, I know that UCinn beat USC last season, but USC now is the gold standard in that sport.

I have a big problem with women’s college basketball in general because the very few truly elite players play for just a handful of programs season after season, and many people treat UConn’s coach like he’s John Wooden when he’s built a career by beating up on teams made up mostly of unathletic, overmatched players.
I agree that all the elite talent in women's college basketball seems to be with a handful of teams. This year they all are on the Final Four teams. As for UConn, I think last night was the 4th time they have had an undefeated season then lose in the Final 4 or one was the Elite 8. To your point, they are not challenged during the regular season.
