Auriemma admits feeling 'dumb' after Staley confrontation

UConn coach Geno Auriemma admitted feeling 'dumb' after his postgame exchange with South Carolina's Dawn Staley at the Final Four.

Auriemma said he felt 'dumb' for losing his composure following his team's loss to the Gamecocks. He described shaking his head in the locker room, wishing he had held his tongue for just five more seconds. The coach also suggested critics were 'lying in the weeds waiting' to pounce on the incident. capturengo.org
