HEAD COACH HARRY PERRETTA After 22 years as head coach of Villanova women s pr o- gram, Harry Perretta has established himself as one of the most respected and knowledgeable coaches in the country.

In his 23-year career on the Main Line, Perretta has tallied a career record of His 413 wins rank him 29th on the winningest active collegiate coaching list. Perretta reached the 400- win milestone on Saturday, Dec. 2 with a win over visiting Temple.

Perretta attended Lycoming College after earning All-Catholic League honors at Monsignor Bonner High School in Upper Darby, Pa. His playing career was cut short, however, by an ankle injury during his freshman year at Lycoming. Perretta spent the remainder of his college years assisting Lycoming s varsity and junior varsity programs as a coach, and he also aided the women s program. He received his bachelor s degree in social studies and a secondary teaching certificate in In 1995, he earned his Master s degree in Education from Villanova. HEAD COACH GENO AURIEMMA New standards in women's basketball, on and off the court, are what Connecticut head coach Geno Auriemma and his coaching staff have developed over the last 15 years. Auriemma is considered one of the nation's most accomplished coaches in his sport. In 15 seasons as Husky head coach, Auriemma is a three-time National Coach of the Year whose honors have included: Naismith National Coach of the Year and AP National Coach of the Year, and Women's Basketball Coaches Association National Coach of the Year.

The Huskies brought Storrs their second National Championship in the season, setting a new standard for wins in a season with 36, suffering just one loss on the year. Prior to taking the UConn position, Auriemma served as the primary assistant women's coach at the University of Virginia under head coach Debbie Ryan from Before his Virginia position, Auriemma was assistant women's basketball coach at St. Joseph's University with then-head coach Jim Foster (now Vanderbilt women's basketball head coach).
