UConn’s Auriemma vs. Tennessee’s Summitt: Where’s the beef?
This classic case of he-didn't-say/she-didn't-say has led to a flood of speculation as to what is really going on. The consensus is that the dust-up started over the recruitment of Connecticut star Maya Moore, only the second freshman to be selected as an Associated Press women's All-America first team. Moore, the 2006 and 2007 Naismith Prep Player of the Year out of Collins High in Suwanee, Ga., was one of the rare Southern recruits Tennessee has lost to Connecticut. Summitt is thought to have ended the series because she didn't think Auriemma's recruitment of Moore was kosher. That theory gained credence after the Southeastern Conference, reportedly at Tennessee's request, logged a complaint with the NCAA.
Women's hoops, and nothin' but the hoops.
