Shows so much why Geno is one the greatest coaches. He may or may not be an extrovert but he is a people person. He is empathic. He is hard on his players, but he knows they are people and puts himself in their position. Always guiding, always being a father.
@cody2167 I was just about to really lay into you about how wrong you are about Geno.... But then ya had to bring up coach Bill Belichick .... and as a life long Pat's fan I completely respect and AGREE with your opinion on him... Then to find out you're a Jets fan and still you say that... !!! AWSOME !!! Now as for Geno, and being best coach ever , I assumed people would understand that I was talking about his specific realm (Womens College Basketball) I guess I should've prefaced that from the start
I just love this (abbreviated) interview. Probably watched it 20+ times over the years.. Bensinger has a real gift for connecting with his interview subjects. He's one of the best I've ever seen. His subject is the colorful, always entertaining Geno Auriemma who happens to be the, hands down, numbers don't lie, best women's college basketball coach to have ever drawn breath. Any honest examination of his accomplishments should settle it quickly. Long ago his Uconn program's achievements rose to the overwhelming, jaw dropping level. Last national championship was 2016, oh the horror....BTW they've not missed a Final Four since 2007, that's 14 straight. Only if you understand how extraordinarily difficult it is for a division 1 team to reach a single Final Four, will you truly be able to appreciate Uconn's staggering achievement.
MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO SEE THEM TOETHER IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE THEY LOOK LIKE FATHER DAUGHTER OR UNCLE NIECE....AND (I WOULD BET) WHEN THEY SEE EACH OTHER THEY SUBCONSIOUSLY SEE THE SAME....IT IS THE CONNECTION THAT MAKES THINGS WORK...
We miss Pat here on Rocky Top - I watched that woman put the fear of God in many a human, male and female. I always said I'd never, ever want Pat mad at me. But she brought out the very best in her players, ran her team the way she wanted to run it, and didn't worry a single minute about what anyone else thought of her methods. There will never be another Pat Summit.
I wished I could have been at Tennessee practice the day after that Monday night men’s game vs. Then-#1 Florida-that was the night Coach Summitt comes out at the first TV time out, dressed as a Tennessee cheerleader (could you imagine her as a cheerleader as a youngster? It’s true, look it up!) and a crazy hat, singing Rocky Top. I think it’s the only time Duck Vitale was literally left speechless on air (the game was on ESPN). That Tennessee men’s coach at the time really thawed her out and brought out a side few had seen in public!
It's not about their gender. It's about getting basketball players to stop being stubborn and accept his coaching. They give him a ton of credit for the players that they have become so I would say it works quite well.
There were at least two occasions where Auriemma references losing a national championship game, in talking about Taurasi. Connecticut has never lost a national championship game........
Geno is not Diana's problem, he is WNBA's problem given he coached the physical approach, rather than a cleaner style of play. Don't get me wrong, in college, it works.. witness his success. in the Pros it does not come across as a marketable product. Ergo the "W" is mired in a do-loop. His coached players have now become coaches. .. without success.... Geno should go !!!
UCONN's WNBA alumni, like Diana Taurasi, who delusionally fancies herself to be a podcast comedienne, would do well to listen to their former coach Geno Auriemma's criticism of their treatment of CC to the determent of the WNBA's future.

I mean, it's not like it worked out bad for Delle Donne, she is just a different person from DT, still a great player in her own right , an MVP and a champion. With Delle Donne i think the biggest issue was the culture shock she felt away from her home and her sister, i think she has talked about it in an interview before
“Winning isn’t everything it’s the only thing “. That is why you had old school coaches who could exhibit boorish behavior and be considered a genius. Talent for talent Pat Summit would beat Geno everyday and twice on Sunday. She is the among the best basketball coaches ever.
Who has scored more points and won more championships than Diana Taurasi? She's also been playing professionally for over 20 years and is still good. GOAT
I’m sorry to say this but we all know why Geno never coached men! He never had the chance to have such a perfect job like UCONN Women!!!!! So go tell that BS to someone else!!!!
Geno is a pussy. He could not handle men or dummies that go to UCONN or some other factory school full of non students but, 1 and done. Geno is about geno.
How’d Geno do this. He’s married. Might have daughters. Is around women all day every day. He’s lucky he’s not in a nursing home. Women will you drive you nuts anyway. They’re crazy half of the month. Could not do it.
You have never been around high end elite athlete women. I am married one and she is stronger emotional than any man I know. Maybe that why she is a high end executive in charge of a bunch of men.
This guy Is 🫏the only reason he won was because he would over recruit and stack the teams so much that he would have all American players on the bench, more so that the players wouldn’t go to other teams in order for him to beat them.a grown man laughing at his players like is not a very good person in my book.how come he didn’t coach the men ?iowa beat them and Iowa was small he had all the talent on his bench.there are a lot of coaches that can coach and win with the caliber of players he had

Nah 2nd maybe
@@xvxv711 lol ok you’re right, I didn’t take that into consideration….good point 😂
Geno and the UCONN program are pure class no question !
No wonder he has so many national championships
1995-2016, 11 NCAA National Championships in 22 years.
Geno is a hall of famer and best women’s collegiate coach
I graduated from UConn five years before Geno got there. Women's basketball was an afterthought when I was there.
An afterthought? It wasn't even a thought! :) And wow, did that ever change!
@@kvernon1 There was a team, but no one ever talked about it. And the football team sucked, too.
Staggering to think of the players who have been through UConn women's program.
You can’t make this stuff up!!! Incredible.!!

Very true. This is the moment I thought about when Angel cried after loosing to Iowa.
agree 100%
This guy is the greatest coach in the history of College sports...Any sport mens or women...
Graham bensinger...interesting interviewer. Unsure how he gets these folks.
Something the world will never know.
Glad the interviewer didn’t say “ bust your players balls”
lol @"her background my background". Like a boss
After hearing Gino's comments about CC, I would be taking my daughter out of UConn and getting her to play anywhere else
You also you personally went to her home and recruit Diana tarausi

This is why men are more often coaches. And, when they're not, they're Pat Summitt; if they wanna win.
We miss Pat here on Rocky Top - I watched that woman put the fear of God in many a human, male and female. I always said I'd never, ever want Pat mad at me.

Definitely not like Adia Barnes at the University of Arizona.
He said the same thing about Breeana Stewart. He seems to like breaking young women down.
I guess it gets results

Check it canadace Parker
LeBron could’ve learned about Diana Taurasi about criticism
But, is Diana greater than Stewie was at UCONN? Well, winning four straight championships says she's not!
Cedric R he doesn’t want to be coached
What are you talking about? 😂

And Diana wasn't?!🙄🤦
How many championships did Oregon win again? Exactly
@@georgegilmore8265 That's not a fair point. UConn is stacked every year.
@@ld4974 uhm Oregon had the big 3 so they should have been able to win their junior season.
My fav part is when Graham can barely read
Geno is so great but Hurleys’ competitiveness might exceed him!

So ya'll date too
So why was Geno around the shower to hear diana crying in the shower?
@Christopher Laughlin proof???????
He was in the locker room and hear someone crying in the shower. She couldnt have been showering or he wouldnt have heard it.
@Christopher Laughlin ...so??
@@clharris7211 If she was crying loudly you could hear that.
She can be "in the shower" (area/room) without turning on the water....like to get a bit of privacy from your teammates....
"Estatic" isn't a word. It's "ecstatic." Lord, that's germalism for ya.
Same dude that Delle Donne walked out on.
I mean, it's not like it worked out bad for Delle Donne, she is just a different person from DT, still a great player in her own right , an MVP and a champion.
With Delle Donne i think the biggest issue was the culture shock she felt away from her home and her sister, i think she has talked about it in an interview before

@@robertjames6659 Not at all. Look at her record. Geno was a good coach but Pat was better.
@@gcuddy7991 they're both about even to be honest!👍
best player all time ? hmm im not sure about that ,,,
I can see that. She was money.
Who has scored more points and won more championships than Diana Taurasi? She's also been playing professionally for over 20 years and is still good. GOAT
@@michaelblanchette2787 i meant in colllege, her stats arent even top 20.. and cheryl miller never got to play wnba ..
Hate these sort of fake-psychology bullies. Those players succeeded despite this Neanderthal.
Those players all love him
I’m sorry to say this but we all know why Geno never coached men! He never had the chance to have such a perfect job like UCONN Women!!!!! So go tell that BS to someone else!!!!
He’s a kitty cat in a house of mice.!!! Think about it! It’s not a compliment either!!!
Geno is a pussy. He could not handle men or dummies that go to UCONN or some other factory school full of non students but, 1 and done. Geno is about geno.
His girls train with the men. So what are you on about?
People trip me out when they hate on Geno. Just respect greatness and respect how he changed lives of young women growing to be women.
Just respect a person calling. His calling is to coach women basketball, help build create legacies and he's great at it.
How’d Geno do this. He’s married. Might have daughters. Is around women all day every day. He’s lucky he’s not in a nursing home. Women will you drive you nuts anyway. They’re crazy half of the month. Could not do it.
Can you even imagine coaching women? There would be nothing but emotional breakdowns. Lol
shut up, take the misogyny elsewhere
You have never been around high end elite athlete women. I am married one and she is stronger emotional than any man I know. Maybe that why she is a high end executive in charge of a bunch of men.
