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 family, a nice glass of wine -- while disaster is seemingly
always waiting to strike. It's a fatalistic philosophy, a remnant
of his hardscrabble early years, but it's an outlook that has
driven him to unparalleled success. In this deeply personal memoir,
Geno Auriemma reveals for the first time the man behind the legend.
He talks candidly about his coaching style, famed for being one of
the most demanding in all 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 of the action -- including an
epilogue on the 2004-05 season, as well as interviews with the
team's most celebrated players.A rare look inside the soul of a
true competitor, GENO is the story of how one passionate man
overcame his own fears to achieve an extraordinary record of
success.
