In case they didnât get enough of each other during the NCAA womenâs Final Four, UConn head coach Geno Auriemma and South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley will meet again this fall.
As part of a slate that also pits reining national champion UCLA against St. John's, UConn and South Carolina will face off in the Basketball Hall of Fame Womenâs Showcase on Nov. 24 at Mohegan Sun Arena, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced Tuesday.
This comes after Auriemma shouted at Staley after a brief handshake in the waning seconds of the Gamecocks' 62-48 over the Huskies in the national semifinals in Phoenix. That game ended UConnâs undefeated season and stopped a 54-game win streak.
Immediately after the clash between coaches, Auriemma told reporters in his postgame press conference that he was upset about the officiating and what he perceived as a slight from Staley involving a pregame handshake.
In the aftermath, UConn also released a statement from Auriemma where he apologized but did not mention Staley.  He apologized to Staley and her staff in a second statement.
On May 4, Auriemma addressed the fallout in a press conference in Storrs, Connecticut.
"I just feel like a dumbass for the way it played out. We are all human and we all do dumb s---."
