HARTFORD, Conn. (January 20, 2010) – University of Connecticut Women’s Basketball Head Coach Geno Auriemma is rarely at a loss for words, which is one reason why his coach’s interview programs can be so fascinating. UConn’s Hall of Fame coach can be even more witty, engaging and free-wheeling when he steps in front of an audience.
All the more reason why The Geno Auriemma Show: Special Edition – a rare on-location interview program taped in front of a packed audience of fans – should prove to be an entertaining hour of television for any Husky devotee.
