APRIL
9, 2006 --
LPR drove
to UConn, in Storrs, Ct. April 6 on chance of getting a photo-op
with women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma, who had just been
named to the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Coach Auriemma's teams have brought five NCAA championship banners to Gampel
Pavilion.
LPR on this visit had to settle for a photo
of a photo of Coach Auriemma, who will be joining UConn men's coach Jim Calhoun
as hall of fame laureate.
LPR stopped at Gampel Pavilion, the UConn home court on campus, and noticed a
new banner between the two
NCAA championship banners that Coach Calhoun's teams brought to Gampel in 1999
and 2004 -- a banner stating, in part: "JIM CALHOUN NAISMITH MEMORIAL BASKETBALL
HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2005."
Congratulations Coach Calhoun. And now, congratulations Coach Auriemma. You
have brought honor to your teams, to your university and to the State of Connecticut.
And from LPR's perspective, you personify the common good/close to the people
spirit of Federalist 57!
