This is the really important thing about this weekend - no more closure for Geno.
1 Pat Summitt 1098 208 .841 Tennessee (1974–2012)
2 Tara VanDerveer 1067 247 .812 Idaho (1978–80), Ohio State (1980–85), Stanford (1985–95, 1996–)
3 Geno Auriemma 1062 139 .884 Connecticut (1985–)
That's the list of total victories. I REALLY don't want ESPNUConn to break Pat Summitt's record. He's five wins behind Tara now, and playing in a crap conference. But she might hit that total by the end of next season - she needs 32 wins, he needs 37.
It really came home in listening to one of ESPN's anchors gush about Muffet McGraw - how she was only one of four college coaches with at least 900 wins, 8 Final Fours, and multiple national championships - and proceeded to list Coach K, Auriemma, and Pat Summitt.
Um, yeah.
It would also be helpful if we could turn this year's recrutiing into a few sustained classes in a row. Christyn Williams and Megan Walker are really good, and Nelson-Ododa was serviceable, but the Huskies may not be the dominant force for the next season and a half that we've come to expect. Also hoping that Bueckers doesn't attract many more.
