Geno Auriemma joined an elite group of college basketball coaches on Wednesday night.
The longtime UConn women’s basketball coach picked up his 1,200th career win after the Huskies cruised to a 67-34 win over Seton Hall. He’s now just the third coach in history, men’s or women’s, to reach the 1,200 wins mark. Only former Duke men’s coach Mike Krzyzewski and current Stanford women’s coach Tara VanDerveer have hit that milestone.
Krzyzewski won 1,202 games before he retired, which made him the winningest men’s Division-1 coach in history. VanDerveer surpassed Krzyzewski and grabbed her 1,203rd victory last month.
