Daily Thought - Geno Auriemma

“It’s about doing it in a way that it can’t be done any better.  That is the goal every day.”  Geno Auriemma

Daily Thought - Geno Auriemma

“I’m constantly striving for perfection.  When we are up 25 points and Barbara Turner gets the ball and without looking where she’s going charges into a player and gets called for an offensive foul, I’m livid.  You know why?  If she does that in a two-point game, it’s going to cost us.  ‘Well,’ you say, ‘it isn’t a two-point game. It’s a 25-point game.’  The young kids have a hard time with it, too.  When I start screaming at them, they look at me, and think, ‘Why is he killing me?  We’re up by 30.’  They don’t understand I’m coaching the Final Four two years from now.  I’m preparing them to stay mentally tough at all times, regardless of the circumstances.”  Geno Auriemma
