Geno Auriemma now stands alone as the all-time winningest coach in Division I basketball.
As we mentioned earlier this month, UConn has been prepared for the day the college basketball history books would change, catapulting the long-time coach to the top of an elite list. On Wednesday, so many UConn alumni, including Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, and Maya Moore, were on hand to watch Geno make history as he surpassed former Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer for most in Division I basketball history (men’s or women’s).
After beating FDU, UConn had a wonderful celebration that included a speech from Geno and, of course, a literal GOAT. (Shoutout to the brilliant minds who came up with that idea). Thankfully, there’s also some sweet photos of the night, too.
Here’s five pictures of UConn celebrating Geno Auriemma:
