Description

Controversial, confrontational, and driven, Coach Geno Auriemma is a force to be reckoned with – and the most accomplished male coach in women’s basketball today. In his relentless quest for excellence at the University of Connecticut, he has led the Huskies to five national championships. “Yet his soul never rests. For Auriemma, life affords only the briefest moments of happiness – a good round of golf, forty minutes of great basketball, a day at the beach with his circle of relatives, a nice glass of wine – at the same time as disaster is seemingly at all times waiting to strike. It is a fatalistic philosophy, a remnant of his hardscrabble early years, but it is an outlook that has driven him to unparalleled success.” “In this deeply personal memoir, Geno Auriemma reveals for the first time the man in the back of the legend. He talks candidly about his coaching style – famed for being probably the most demanding in all of the sports world. He spills the beans about his stormy dealings with other coaches such as his archrival, Pat Summitt of the University of Tennessee. And with warmth and a genuine love for his champions, he writes openly about Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, Nykesha Sales, Rebecca Lobo, Swin Cash, and all of his other UConn stars who have gone on to stellar WNBA careers. You get a courtside seat to all the action – including an epilogue on the 2004-05 season, in addition to interviews with the team’s most celebrated players.”–BOOK JACKET.
