NEW YORK (AP) – Geno Auriemma is feeling a lot better.
The UConn women’s basketball coach spent a few days in the hospital last week after taking himself off a plane on April 16.
“It started the week of the Final Four. It got worse when I got home,” Auriemma told The Associated Press on Tuesday night. “I thought I was over it and then I was laid up for three or four days.
“Lot of tests, lot of fluids, lot of different things that I was just exhausted and run down. The flu part was real. The bronchial infection was real. The other stuff. Maybe I was holding it back for a month. Just got me.”
The 62-year-old coach had boarded a plane to go speak at a clinic in Chicago. He said he decided to get off the plane because he wasn’t feeling well.
