The legendary University of Connecticut basketball coach never offered the Iowa star a scholarship, but called her the greatest women's basketball player of all-time on Monday night.
"I hope that Caitlin Clark had a personal agenda against LSU," Auriemma said, referencing the rematch of last season's national title game between the Hawkeyes and the Tigers."And I know there's nothing personal between me and her, so I don't need to be seeing her drop 50 on us next weekend. I love her. I think she's the best player...forget I ever said Paige is the best player in the country. I think 's the best player of all time.
."I loved UConn. I think they're the coolest place on earth, and I wanted to say I got recruited by them. They called my AAU coach a few times, but they never talked to my family and never talked to me."
