After leading the Huskies to an NCAA championship last season, he is ready to go again next season. The 71-year-old has been the head coach of the Huskies since 1985. In an interview with Graham Bensinger in 2017, the $18 million worth Geno Auriemma, as per CelebrityNetWorth, talked about wanting to coach the men's team. In a YouTube video uploaded on Nov. 15, 2017, Auriemma revealed that his daughter made him turn down an offer to coach a men's NCAA team. He also discussed the pros and cons of the coaching job. "The positives were wow, what a great challenge, can you imagine if you could do that, to go to a place that has had great success and rekindle that?" Auriemma said (Timestamp- 1:32 onwards). "It's almost like reinventing yourself a little bit, and you know how many people are convinced that this can not be done, and you are going to stick it right in their face and you're going to do it, and it's the perfect scenario, for all the right reasons," he added. He then revealed the conversation he had with his daughter that made him turn down the offer. "Then my daughter, who just graduated, said, 'I can't believe you would do this, you've been going a lot growing up, I just graduated from college, now we get to hang out, have some fun, go to dinner, you know, and now you're going to pack up and leave again, I can't believe it,'" (Timestamp: 2:03 onwards). After this, Geno Auriemma was convinced and said, 'All right, that's enough already, we're staying.' Before the new season starts, the Huskies are set to hold an event to celebrate "A Night with Champions" on Oct. 23 at the Riverview in Simsbury, Connecticut. The event will feature the players and the coaching staff as they look to prepare for a repeat championship-winning season.
