Quote of the Day: Geno Auriemma & Diana Taurasi
As quoted here:
USA women’s Olympic basketball team coach Geno Auriemma sat at a table after his team had defeated Brazil 99-67 Monday night in the nation’s capital. Two of his players, guards Lindsey Whalen and Diana Taurasi, had just gotten up and were walking out of the interview room at the Verizon Center.
Auriemma explained how he hadn’t heard “all Lindsey and Sue had to say,” having walked in late to the news conference.
“Stop calling me Sue!!!” Taurasi yelled, clearly within earshot but out of sight of everyone in the room. Needless to say, laughter was everywhere.
“I knew she was listening,” Auriemma said, smiling.
