UConn coach Geno Auriemma not a fan of men's game

Geno Auriemma thinks men's college basketball isn't very entertaining right now, though he admits the women's game isn't either.
''As a spectator watching it, it's a joke,'' the UConn women's coach said about the men's game during a conference call on Wednesday. ''The game's a joke, it really is. I don't coach it, play it. I don't understand its ins and outs.''
He said he was speaking more as a fan than a basketball coach. But he said he knows people are deciding what to do with their money for entertainment and he doesn't think it's entertaining from the fan's standpoint....
''Women's basketball is behind the times. Men's is further behind,'' he said. ''Every other sport in the world has taken steps to help people be better on the offensive end of the floor. They've moved the fences in baseball, they lowered the mound. ... The NFL you touch a guy and it's a penalty.''
It was long rumored that Geno would take his act across Gampel when Calhoun hung it up. Perhaps this explains why he did not.
