American Stories: Auriemma Comes Up Golden Again

RIO DE JANEIRO-- What's left for Geno Auriemma to accomplish?

He has secured his legacy over and over at UConn, becoming a brand name in The American, winning a record 11 NCAA championships and 90 consecutive games at one point en route to establishing a dynasty in Storrs. His accomplishments in international play are just as impressive. Since Auriemma became coach of the USA Basketball senior women's national team in 2009, he has won Olympic gold in 2012 and 2016 and world championships in 2010 and 2014. He has also produced nine elite players who have won 18 gold medals in six Olympics.
