Geno and Rebecca Lobo are currently discussing UConn& #39;s Best of the Best program on Instagram live right now.
Geno just declared Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the greatest college basketball player of all time.
"I would say from 2000-2010, those ten years (were my best as a coach)...If you got & #39;90-2000, I had to be great then because we had a lot of shit going on."
"The pressure was greater between 2000-2010 and the guys that I had to coach, whew, they were not easy to coach."

"Diana, her junior and senior year, was the best player I ever coached."
Geno said the first 2 weeks of practice in & #39;03, he thought they were going to be terrible. Then after 2 weeks, he thought they were going to win it all.
"Diana made everyone seem 5x better than they were."

"You think a lot of coaching goes into winning four national championships in a row?...Four years of unbelievable players who are easy to coach."
"Even you dummies out there who know nothing about basketball could& #39;ve gotten that team to the Final Four."

Geno on Paige Bueckers: "The thing that worries me about Paige and all the hype she& #39;s getting is she& #39;s too nice a kid. Maybe after a year with me, she won& #39;t be like that anymore. Maybe she& #39;ll take on my personality."
Geno on the team next season: "I don& #39;t know, they all might be wearing masks. Who the hell knows? I& #39;m just hoping we get a season. I& #39;m hoping we get everyone back for summer school which starts the last three days of May."
Geno, cont& #39;d: "Of those ten, five are freshmen, two are sophomores and one, Evina, has never played for us...But to be honest, I& #39;m excited as hell. I think it& #39;s going to be an interesting group."
Geno said UConn is "talking to a couple kids" in the transfer portal right now and said they& #39;re trying to make something happen, but probably won& #39;t know for a couple weeks.
Geno on how his quarantine is going:
"I& #39;m really, really good at doing nothing. I& #39;m expert at it."

Geno said he has to do a PSA for the governor later:
"I don& #39;t know if I& #39;m going to do it in Italian or in English."
"I don& #39;t know if I& #39;m going to do it in Italian or in English."
Geno said he doesn& #39;t know if Jamelle Elliot will be an assistant coach again next season, before giving an odd answer:
"We& #39;re in a tough situation here...we& #39;ve got a lot of real issues to figure out there."

Geno on Megan Walker going to the WNBA: "If gets on the right team, I think she& #39;ll be okay...when it& #39;s time to go, it& #39;s time to go."
Geno weighs in on Sue Bird beating Maya Moore in the bracket:
"Either way, whoever would& #39;ve won that matchup, I would& #39;ve gone & #39;That& #39;s a tough one. You can& #39;t go wrong either way."
"Either way, whoever would& #39;ve won that matchup, I would& #39;ve gone & #39;That& #39;s a tough one. You can& #39;t go wrong either way."
Geno said he had a zoom conference with his team recently, gave them some assignments but otherwise, "what can you do?"
Geno Auriemma disagrees with giving a national championship trophy to the team that finished No. 1, because "We& #39;d have a lot more than 11" if that& #39;s how it was decided.
Geno, continued: "If I was betting, I would say that Oregon and South Caroline would play in the championship game and I& #39;d give Oregon a little bit of an edge, based on their experience. That& #39;s all."
Geno said he couldn& #39;t figure out how to use Instagram: "It took me 45 minutes how to load this crap up."
