Summary
Geno Auriemma, UConn Huskies women’s basketball coach, has apologized for his postgame confrontation with South Carolina’s Dawn Staley after a loss in the Final Four. Auriemma had expressed frustration with the physicality of the game and Staley’s interaction with referees. He claimed Staley didn’t shake his hand before the game, but video showed otherwise. Auriemma has since apologized to Staley and the South Carolina program, saying his actions were “uncalled for” and “unlike what I do and what our standard is here at Connecticut.”
Our Reading
The drama arrives with confidence.
Coaches with decades of experience can’t even follow the pre-game handshake protocol. Auriemma waited three minutes for a handshake that already happened. He then yells at Staley, claiming she didn’t shake his hand. The real apology is for not having a better excuse. The two teams will meet again next season, because drama is always on the schedule.
