STORRS, Conn. — Amid the hoopla surrounding head coach Geno Auriemma and associate coach Chris Dailey’s record-breaking win, it would be easy for things to fall through the cracks.
Azzi Fudd is not one of those things.
Originally, Fudd was supposed to be back in December, but a few days before UConn’s 85-41 win over Fairleigh-Dickinson, she came into Auriemma’s office and gave him a new date: Nov. 20. The same day UConn was set to celebrate her coach’s historic coaching milestone of 1,217 wins.
“I thought everyone was here for Azzi Fudd day,” Auriemma joked after the game.
