We all know Pat Summitt. We all know Geno Auriemma. We all know the two hate each other. If you follow Lady’s Basketball, or at least watch the final few games, we all know they’re often in consideration for the National Championship. What we don’t know is why these two hate each other. Now we do.
Auriemma said last year that Summitt could not publicly explain her decision to end the series because “she would be put in a position of needing to back it up.”
On Tuesday, he said that if Summitt would not explain, he would.
“Pat knows … So she should just tell you why instead of saying, ‘Geno knows.’ I do know,” he said. “I already told you. She accused us of cheating at recruiting. She doesn’t have the courage to say it publicly. So yeah, Geno does know. And I’ve said it.”
It’s too bad that game was cancelled. I can truthfully say I’d watch the first five minutes of that game, which is five minutes more than I’ve ever watched of any other game.
