Huskies of Honor
Encyclopedia
Huskies of Honor is a recognition program sponsored by the University of Connecticut
(UConn). Similar to a hall of fame
, it honors the most significant figures in the history of the Connecticut Huskies
—the university's athletic teams—especially the men's
and women's basketball
teams. The inaugural honorees, inducted in two separate ceremonies during the 2006–07 season, included fourteen men's basketball players, ten women's basketball players, and four head coaches
, two of whom are also enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame (Jim Calhoun
and Geno Auriemma
). Since that time, an additional three women's basketball players, one men's basketball player, two national championship
teams, and one athletic director
have been honored.
Men's basketball has been played at the University of Connecticut since 1901, when the school was known as Connecticut Agricultural College. The Huskies first achieved success under Coach Hugh Greer
, who over a sixteen-year period led the team to twelve Yankee Conference
championships, seven National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) Tournament
berths, and one National Invitation Tournament
appearance before dying suddenly during the 1962–63 college basketball season. It was not until Calhoun took over the university's basketball program in 1985, however, that UConn grew from a regional basketball power to a nationally prominent one. Under Calhoun, UConn has won three national championships (1999, 2004, 2011), seven Big East Tournaments
, and ten Big East regular season titles, while placing twenty-three former players into the National Basketball Association
(NBA).
Women's basketball was not a major sport at UConn until the arrival of Auriemma in 1986. Under his guidance UConn has enjoyed unprecedented success, winning seven national titles, including four at the end of undefeated seasons. Connecticut's rivalry
with women's basketball power Tennessee
has become one of the most celebrated in the sport. Twenty-three former UConn women's basketball players have gone on to play in the Women's National Basketball Association
(WNBA), and four, Sue Bird
in 2002
, Diana Taurasi
in 2004
, Tina Charles

, and Maya Moore
