MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Rick Stockstill has never been in this situation. Brent Dearmon hasn't either, and hopes he'll never be in that position throughout his whole career. But they have a lot of respect for UConn after what the players and coaching staff have endured this season.
After dropping the team's first two games, head coach Randy Edsall originally announced he was retiring at the end of the season, before coming to an agreement with director of athletics David Benedict to step down from the role immediately. Benedict named defensive coordinator Lou Spanos the team's interim head coach, and the Huskies have played their last five games under his leadership.
