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.

Controversial, confrontational and driven, Geno Auriemma - the long-time head coach of the Univ of Connecticut's highly successful womens' basketball team - is a force to be reckoned with. Now 55, Geno just guided the UConn Huskies to its sixth national championship and its third perfect season. In the 2208/2009 season UConn steamrolled all of its opponents, finishing with an astounding record of 39-0. However, despite all of his success, Auriemma is a driven and haunted man. In this deeply personal memoir, Geno reveals for the first time his innermost thoughts about his aggressive coaching style, his stormy dealings with opposing coaches (most notably Pat Summitt, the famed head coach at Tennessee) and how he demands - and gets - the very best from his long-line of talented basketball players at Connecticut. The book includes up close and personal stories about some of Geno's greats, including Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, Nykesha Sales, Rebecca Lobo, Swin Cash and of course, reflections on his current championship team.
