On the recordApril 18, 2012
I rise to thank my friend for his moving and eloquent statement, as a Senator from Connecticut, a proud fan and admirer of UConn women's basketball, with the great coach Geno Auriemma. No one appreciates someone such as Coach Summitt more than those who have competed against her, including Coach Auriemma and the great players in the University of Connecticut women's basketball history. She sets the standard and she has set the standard. I join my colleague in his praise of her, and with some confidence, wishing her well in the future.
