UCLA’s Women’s Basketball are your 2026 National Champions but all anyone can talk about is the volatile postgame handshake between UConn HC Geno Auriemma and South Carolina HC Dawn Staley in the Final Four game where the Gamecocks advanced to the final over the Huskies. There is obviously no love lost between the two legendary coaches, but DP thinks Auriemma should’ve followed the advice he surely give his players; keep your cool under pressure.
Dan Patrick: “These head coaches always are preaching composure. They want their players to be cool under fire. ‘Hey, don't let the pressure get to you.’ The coaches, they're the ones you got to watch out for! They don't do well under pressure. And that happened to Geno. He melted down right there in front of us.”
