STORRS, Conn. -- Geno Auriemma's coaching career at UConn has already been defined by unparalleled feats. Eleven national titles. Twenty-three Final Four berths, including 15 in the past 16 years. Separate win streaks of 98 and 111 games.
And on Wednesday, in front of 60-plus former players and a sellout home crowd at Gampel Pavilion, Auriemma ascended yet another mountaintop when his Huskies routed Fairleigh Dickinson 85-41 to make him the winningest basketball coach in NCAA history.
Auriemma broke a tie he held since Friday with legendary Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer, who retired in April.
