Azzi Fudd believes Geno Auriemma's coaching journey at UConn is not over yet

While there has been a lot of speculation about UConn coach Geno Auriemma potentially retiring, following his latest national championship win, Azzi Fudd is not ready to believe that the winningest coach in college basketball's career is over just yet.

During an exclusive interview with Mirror US Sports on Wednesday, Fudd made clear she believes Auriemma still has more to accomplish with the Huskies.

"That's a great question, I really can't say," Fudd said when asked if Auriemma would retire in the near future. "All I know is that, coach loves what he does. He loves coaching, he loves making us better, he loves helping us and teaching us. I think he'll do it for as long as he can."

Azzi Fudd added that she thinks Auriemma has another championship run left in him.

While UConn's star player Paige Bueckers will not be in the squad next season as she declared for the WNBA draft, Fudd will be the veteran in the team and will be hoping to lead the team to another deep run in March Madness.
