It’s been a big week for Coach Auriemma.
On Tuesday night, his UConn women’s basketball team beat Syracuse, 82-51 to take their 11th NCAA championship title. Geno Auriemma now has more NCAA basketball championships than any other coach in history, after passing the 10-title mark set in 1975 by John Wooden of UCLA.
This week also saw the launch of the new www.genoauriemma.com website. Designed and built in the Web Solutions CMS platform, the site is an entertaining and comprehensive resource on Geno’s many achievements, in basketball and beyond.
