As Connecticut head coach Geno Auriemma sits and waits with his assistants for the start of the second half, probably the last thing running through his mind is the latest award he collected today ... but that doesn't mean I can't tell you about it.
Auriemma was named the winner of the 2009 Naismith Women's College Coach of the Year by the Atlanta Tipoff Club today, garnering his sixth award in the 23 years the Club has named one. He has won the award two straight years, and his total of six is more than any other coach. Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt has five in her trophy case.
