During the 1996 SEC Women's tournament at Chattanooga she left two very long-lasting impressions on me
In a hallway she was asked; re potential recruits and players,,"if there was anything she wouldn't coach"...she replied, "I coach everything,,but I won't coach passion,,If I have to teach you to love my game, I don't want you"
Sitting with her as she scouted Alabama, she and I were talking about coaching,,,specifically younger girls,,she said.."Girls get Uncles, Dads and Brothers,,,they don't get real coaches"...This is the very instance that I determined to be one of those "real coaches"...I was approached to coach boys many times but that sitting with her, set my path.
