Geno Auriemma couldn't be wrong, could he?

After the University of Connecticut women's basketball team lost Sunday in the national semifinals, Coach Geno Auriemma said a big factor was that his team committed fouls
– apparently for the first time all season.

"We don't foul," Auriemma said. "We proved that in the first (half). We spent the entire year not fouling. Then all of a sudden in the first 10 minutes of the second half, I guess we just decided to start fouling."

Curiously, season statistics show that UConn was called for 478 fouls this season. Some might find it amazing that the refs could blow so many calls, but since the Huskies don't foul, what else can we conclude?
