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?
I want to give a huge shout out to our redshirt junior
@anna_maguire9
Practicing everyday with no reward of playing this year is tough for anyone but she gives 100% each day and is focused on getting better. We appreciate you Anna!
#lovesthisgameandherteam
This team has grown so much this year and I’m so proud of them for how much they have grown together. There have been so many firsts, and that continues as we will play in the WNIT next week!

Well I’m in trouble now, I’ve got two Maguire’s! Really excited to add Enya to our team. True court leader and will make her teammates better from the get.

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

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...
Thank you so much to
@SouthwestAir
who helped
@tay_morgen
“walk” today when she missed her graduation to travel with the team on our trip to play at Texas Tech tomorrow. So proud of Tay!❤️Thank you
@SouthwestAir
for making it special for her!
Bragging on our team for a minute. Lost five games due to Covid issues, have shown up everyday with a good attitude and worked hard. Jumped on the bus at short notice today smiling. Appreciate their willingness to adjust and their will to play!
#lovethisgroup
Just talked with a young lady who LOVES this game! Blown away by her dedication. If you cycle 12 miles every day to shoot because it’s the only court you can use, every day....you love this game❤️
Have had several former players reach out since last night with messages that bring tears to my eyes. This game is all about people and I’m so grateful for the ones I have coached but more so the ones I get to work with now.
#winwithpeople
Waking up feeling privileged to play today. March is the best time of the year for all basketball players and coaches and for these Huskies it’s their first post season experience today. Glad I go to battle with this lot!

In the past six years, our team has featured five times in the WBCA Academic Top 25. In 14th, 23rd, 5th, 17th and 12th spots. If you choose to play at HBU, we make sure you excel in the classroom and are ready for your next step!
#STUDENTathletes
Only 24 hours til we get on court with our team. First time since early March and I feel like a kid at Christmas😀 I’ve missed these girls, can’t wait to get started!
I am SO proud of our team this semester. Wow. This may be the strongest finish yet, GREAT job ladies! Every single one of you did exceptionally well. We had 8 players with a perfect 4.0!👀👀
Loved the effort today at our elite camp. Several future Huskies in Sharp today alongside our current group. Appreciate our staff and players for their hard work today too!

#whoisnext
Please remember when you make comments about games being canceled, that these students who are now in isolation in dorms on their own and can’t go home to family for Christmas, aren’t choosing to have Covid and be in this situation…
#biggerthanbasketball
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
Wee Ken has her masters!! So proud of this girl for so many reasons. Definition of tough…glad I was able to be here today when I missed the first one. Two degrees and about to step into being a working woman. Congrats Ken!❤️
Incredible effort by the guys.I shake my head at the continued lack of true investment for basketball. I keep hearing "medals matter"...without financial& personnel support that's tough,but this group showed how close they are without it.

@HBUcoachTipp
head off on her next journey. Going to miss having her around everyday. Over six years of her cross fit loving, coffee drinking, big hearted self. Will feel strange not seeing her in practice. ALWAYS be family. Good luck LT! ❤️
These two got a shout out for being the only two Irish people on our plane last night and then were given the
@SouthwestAir
crew necklaces after we landed in Detroit. I love these two sisters are getting to experience these firsts for our program together!
I’m all about doing things the right way. We all face big problems at some point, and we all have to deal with adversity, but whatever we face, don’t compromise doing things the right way.
#wintherightway
Sad I can’t be there today but SO proud of
@anna_maguire9
as she graduates with her masters. Anna has been an incredible ambassador for our program and we are so thankful for her. Delighted her new job is in Houston and we still get to see her!💙🧡💙
Today should be the day that
@enya_89
graduates with her undergrad in Kinesiology. But, instead of walking she’s representing her country on the basketball court. We are very proud of you Enya, congrats on your first diploma, excited to get your masters started soon!🧡💙🧡
3.55 team GPA for the fall semester.

and Sydney have one to go. Proud of the standard these seniors keep setting💪🏼
I love this group. They are fighting against a lot but they continue to do that...fight. It’s frustrating seeing the ball not drop BUT we have find a way. And we will...
#backathomeandreadytogo
Proud of my team tonight. It’s been a challenging season with so many obstacles but despite that,they battle. As young as we are, I’m excited about them, as we are getting much needed experience. These youngsters have a chance to be pretty good, we just need to stay locked in.💪🏼
Last night, these two started their fifth year of games in Sharp Gym and fifth year of laughing, very loud talking, silliness and high pitched screams….Makes a huge difference when you get to be around GREAT people in your program everyday. Two of the best! 🧡💙🧡
We are so disappointed to lose two games this week but when so many people including our staff and players don’t have power/heat/water, we will focus on everyone getting those back and hopefully we can get back to practice and games again soon.
#perspective
Waking up feeling so enthused about how our team played last night. After a 25 day pause, only two full practices and still missing several key players,how hard they played was incredible. I love coaching this group, they are warriors!
#controlwhatyoucancontrol
So pleased with our growth in the last two weeks. We are finding ways to fight adversity and control what we can. We are getting closer to performing...
#normingbutalmostthere
Woke up feeling so grateful. We can dwell on the fact we can’t play right now or we can choose to stay positive and appreciate what and who we have. We will most definitely appreciate every second we get to be on court once we get back!
It’s July 1 and
@CoachMoore42HBU
starts today. Excited to get her settled in and ready to hit the road later this week. Future huskies make sure you follow Coach Amber, you are going to be seeing her very soon!
Cannot tell you how seeing enough bodies to practice properly today for the first time in three weeks felt! Proud of our players for staying so positive!
LOVED seeing our team on the floor this morning. This last 10 days hasn’t been easy, but this morning really had me walking out the gym smiling. So happy to have this group together.
Always sad saying goodbye to players but it was nice to honor Megan and her contributions to our program the past three years. Very bright future ahead for this girl!❤️
Left sunny Houston this morning and bundled up tonight on the walk back to the hotel here in Minneapolis. Looking forward to more new connections tomorrow and a great final Sunday!
Huge congrats to former assistant Lauren Tippet as she graduates from fire academy. No doubt you are going to rise to the top of your new profession Tipp!
As a head coach I needed to hear what
@CoachTrina_UofM
had to say this morning to remind me of a few things as a leader that I need to do better again. Appreciate the nuggets!
@HeadCoachTC
Leaving Orlando feeling good about what I saw this weekend here. Excited to get back to our players for workouts tomorrow morning though and get these freshmen ready!
Really proud of our youngsters today. Stayed with it and didn’t quite finish it off but some great play and showed big improvements in many areas!
#watchoutthisgroupistough
Excited to drive to Dallas tomorrow and see some future Huskies.
@StahlyTaylor
