UConn's Auriemma named AP Coach of the Year for ninth time

UConn coach Geno Auriemma wasn't ready to declare this his best coaching job but he was quick to admit how fortunate he is to work with his coaching staff and players as he was named the Associated Press Coach of the Year for a ninth time.

"The reality of the situation is we probably didn't do anything different this year," Auriemma said. "We didn't work any harder, we didn't put in more hours, we didn't watch more film or come up with new drills. It really is about putting the players in a tough spot and letting them do the rest, they did and that is why we are here.
