Geno Auriemma now stands alone at the top.
Auriemma picked up his 1,217th career win on Wednesday night as No. 2 UConn beat Fairleigh Dickinson 85-41 at Gampel Pavilion. That officially broke a tie with longtime Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer and made Auriemma the winningest head coach in men’s and women’s Division I college basketball history.
