Auriemma said people have the right to their opinion, but he does not think this is a big issue. He said we are making it an issue because some people need it to be one for their own gain.

Auriemma does not remember reading about transsexual players in the WNBA. He does not see this as an issue and wonders why we are making it one. He thinks people are making it an issue for their own personal gain.
