To the parents at the last game I watched…know we are watching y’all too. Screaming at officials, trying to coach your own kids by yelling at them and making negative comments about the opposition is not it. Let your kids be coached by their COACH. Or start your own team🤷🏻‍♀️

Our staff will be in San Antonio, Dallas, Louisville & Omaha in this first period. Here’s what I’m looking for.. 1️⃣ A great communicator. Your non verbal communication says so much!😉 2️⃣ The charge taker- let’s see it! 3️⃣ The defensive stopper. Who wants that assignment?

One thing I learned as a young coach from @CoachLTid was never put down or talk bad about other teams/coaches. When I see someone talking bad about our team,I will defend our girls ALWAYS and urge that person to learn that same lesson I did #focusonyourownteam #tyforthemotivation

I grew up in a country that doesn’t experience these senseless murders and daily racism. But living here for 10years I see it, I hear it and I’m disgusted by it. I already speak up when I hear/see it but that’s not enough. It’s on all of us to do more...

Amazing game but biggest thing I’m taking from both the convention and this game is the respect within women’s basketball. It is evident that coaches want to grow the game and will share and help each other and that players truly respect opponents. #❤️thisgame
