Greatest coach of any sport, at any level…EVER. He is taking his team to their 14th straight NCAA Final tomorrow. No other coach of anything has ever come close. And all the while he does it with poise, humor, and care.

True. The record is clear. And his players benefit from his coaching in more than just basketball.

I totally agree with Coach Reno and share very similar beliefs. I was recently asked to step down by the head coach because I was more interested in teaching them the game of basketball versus game plays. This team lacked sound fundamentals and didn't know why they were doing what they were taught. I was hired to coach the JV team but because I believe in building the person, encouraging them, teaching fundamentals and basic skills, it went against what they were teaching...just plays. They are setting these girls up to fail and it's so hard to watch them in games as they lack the basic skills needed to be a team I see a bunch of individuals running around trying to score, not supporting each other and coaches yelling at them like it's their fault. These coaches don't realize that the game is about the team and not the coaches. The kids are the one sacrificing their four years of school, their time, energy and talents to become good basketball players, yet the coaches are failing them miserably. It's so sad to see a system that only cares about winning but in the end it's the kids who are really losing. I was grateful when he asked me to step down. Because I couldn't stand to sit back and watch him just yell and scream at these girls, making them pay for mistakes that they should be making because of lack of training. This is a setup for failure, period. It's like me telling a child to do sn algebra problem without me showing them how to do it and if they don't get it right then they fail the course.

Greatest women's bb coach of all time. Summit surely was the trailblazer, but Auriemma is the greatest. What he articulates in this interview is so true. I'm not necessarily a fan of UConn, but can't but help admire this program's dominance. And it all starts with the guy running the show: the greatest women's bb coach of all time, Geno Auriemma. Glad to see the historic upset, because it makes the sport less pedestrian. However, what some of us definitely want to see is UConn using this loss to transform from just a "really good" basketball team to a "spectacularly good" one. Fix what went haywire on Friday night, and, coupled with the eligibility of a very athletic 6'6" transfer, next season's team has the potential to be truly extraordinary. Dan Gable lost his last match of his amateur career in wrestling after having won 181 straight (high school and college). He lost in the NCAA finals to a University of Washington sophomore. Gable used that loss to propel his skill set and achievement from great to extraordinary. Gable won Gold at the 72 Olympics without yielding a single point. In pre-Olympic qualifying matches, Gable yielded only one point, which was to the man who had defeated him in the 1970 NCAA finals (Gable won the re-match 7-1).

Well said Taylor. Although there are some people who will criticize him for the recent loss, his record is likely unbeatable, and I think he'll use this experience to elevate his team even more. It's good to see someone who still expects a lot from his team and gives them respect and credit for the wins that they've earned.

I saw it in a former workplace. My younger co workers just like that . "I've worked here a month without a pay raise . Why should I be happy?" "They dont provide free lunch , why should I give my employer my best?"

I'm 9 years late with this comment but I wanted to make a point about this conversation. And I have to bring up someone else's name to make my point. Lou Lamoriello, a great Ice Hockey recruiter in the amateur and professional ranks. Both men have one thing in common and it has proved to be successful. Reading stat's on paper and even watching a player perform with a highlight film attracts a lot of attention and the thought that player will be productive at the next level is logical. But, WHAT ABOUT THE PLAYERS HEART? Limiting my comment to basketball, does the player run the court well? Does the player makes others on the court better? Does the player pay attention to detail? Does it appear the player never runs out of energy? Does the player love the game and is fulfilling a dream? Is the player very coachable? Does the player consistently work on facets of their game which can improve? IF A PLAYER ANSWERS POSITIVE TO ALL THOSE QUESTIONS THAT PLAYER IS SOMEONE WHO WOULD BE CONSIDERED A TOP NOTCH PROSPECT. To have all those positives and also be a top scorer/defender then that player would love to player for both gentlemen because they know they are appreciated and they know what it takes to be a winner.
