DENVER (AP) ? The feud that once existed between Geno Auriemma and Pat Summitt is rapidly shrinking.

The Hall of Fame coaches spent some time together on the court during Connecticut's open practice on Saturday. The pair shared a big hug and chatted briefly.

Auriemma says they talked about Summitt's foundation that supports Alzheimer's research and education, and the health of the Tennessee coach.

The Huskies and Lady Volunteers stopped playing each other four seasons ago and neither coach has publically confirmed why. Auriemma and Summitt are expected to be on the court together at halftime of the Baylor-Stanford game when the NCAA honors former U.S. women's basketball Olympic coaches.

Summitt announced in August that she is dealing with the effects of early-onset dementia from Alzheimer's.
