'How lucky are these kids?' What Nykesha Sales brings to Geno Auriemma's staff: Mike Anthony
Nykesha Sales, tied for 7th on UConn's career scoring list, is back in Storrs as an assistant coach.
UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma praised former player Nykesha Sales, now an assistant coach, by remarking on how fortunate the current players are to learn from her. Auriemma highlighted Sales' charisma and productivity during her time at UConn, mentioning her scoring record and All-WNBA accolades. Sales, known for her exceptional skills and ability to connect with players, went on to coach in the WNBA and returned to UConn as an assistant.
Her experience and relatability make her a valuable resource for the current players, providing guidance and hints on improvement. Auriemma, who has always had a soft spot for Sales, valued her as one of his favorite players and never yelled at her.
