Today UConn Head Coach Geno Auriemma was named the 2008-09 Russell Athletic/WBCA NCAA D-I Coach of the Year for the 2nd straight year (and for the 5th time) after leading his Connecticut Huskies team to a perfect 33-0 record entering the 2009 NCAA Tournament as well as being the Number 1 overall seed. All this after graduating four seniors who saw signifcant minutes during their UConn careers, having the #1 H.S. girls prospect back out of her scholarship two months before the season, and losing starter Fr. SG Caroline Doty for the season (halfway through the regular season) to an ACL injury.
