Geno Auriemma Warns WNBA Draft Age Rule Change Would Harm Women’s College Hoops
UConn coach Geno Auriemma has strongly voiced his opposition to any changes in the WNBA Draft’s age eligibility rules, arguing that allowing players to leave college earlier would significantly harm women’s basketball. He believes such a ‘one-and-done’ scenario would deplete college rosters of star talent, reduce national recognition for the sport, and ultimately diminish the game’s growth and appeal. Meanwhile, Auriemma’s undefeated UConn Huskies are preparing for their Final Four clash against South Carolina.
