Geno Auriemma has built Connecticut into a powerhouse for women’s basketball with 11 national championships, and his legacy will continue for at least another five years.

Auriemma signed a five-year contract extension this week to remain as the Huskies coach, which means he could potentially retire at the end of the deal when he is 75 years old. Auriemma will celebrate his 40th anniversary at UConn in the 2024–25 season when the Huskies will be one of the favorites to win their first title since 2016.
