5.0 out of 5 stars
Inopportune timing for a great book, December 11, 2007
This review is from: Lady Vols vs. UConn: The Greatest Rivalry in Women's Basketball (Hardcover)
What a shock it must have been for the author of this book when it was announced earlier this year that Pat Summitt had elected not to continue the annual series against the UConn Huskies. Worse...she refused to give any specific reasons. First, because she did not discuss her schedules before they were finalized, and once they were finalized....just because. "Geno knows why," is all she says. While most Lady Vols fans stand by their coach and claim she doesn't owe anyone a reason, other fans, particularly of UConn, are rather upset, as the trash-talking between the two fan bases has gone on for years, and one side or the other could always be silenced (for a while) depending on which team won that year.
But not any more. UConn and Tennessee, the most storied rivalry in WCBB, is no more, for no better reason than that Pat Summitt doesn't like Geno Auriemma, and rather than beat him on the court and make him like it, has simply taken her ball and gone home.
