[OutsiderFan]

OutsiderFan, you're totally missing the point.  I don't hate Geno because he wins, or even because he wins unfairly.  I hate him because he's a total jerk about pretty much everything.

I'm much more OK with someone being a jerk when they win than I am OK with someone who wins because they cheat, have artificial competitive advantages, etc.

Few things in sports are more upsetting to me as a fan of "pure" competition than John Wooden being fawned over, with no mention of Sam Gilbert's role in his success.  If people can gripe about Barry Bonds' suspected PED use, where's the griping about Wooden's success?

Anyway, Auriemma is a first class jerk.  No doubt about that.
