AP photographer Jessica Hill captured a shot of UConn coach Geno Auriemma patting Baylor coach Kim Mulkey on the backside before the start of the Bears' impressive 76-70 road victory. Everything about the photo is memorable, from Mulkey's stance, to Auriemma's laser focus, to the giggling assistant coaches in the background.
Thankfully, the Connecticut Post's Rich Elliott asked Auriemma about the exchange after the game and got an explanation for the unusual scene. Auriemma clarified it was a lighthearted, harmless moment between two longtime friends.
"She was staring at my butt and she was commenting on it and I said, ‘Really? How about yours?’" Auriemma told the Post. "She went, `Yeah, look at it,’ and I went (slap), 'I’ll teach you a lesson.'
