Head Coach Baylor WBB!🏀💚💛 #sicem mom, wife, daughter, sister, Christian
Joined May 2012
I will never understand why men (or women) who do not follow the @wnba feel such desperate need to disparage it. Guess what. I don’t go to the opera. I also don’t tell people why I choose not to be an opera fan! But I do respect the opera!!! #toeachherown #cantweallgetalong.

To those complaining about all WNBA games being at the same time today. the coaches asked specifically for this on the final day of regular season for fairness. Lots of teams playing for seeding today! Let’s make it a great day @WNBA.

Fastest way to get cut in a @wnba camp: try to do too much! If you’re taking shots away from vets you won’t make friends. Play with pace: run hard, cut hard, and screen hard. Watch the vets in drills, so you get it right the first time.

I wish it was easier to ignore all the hate spewed on twitter about female professional athletes. why is it so hard to live by the words our parents preached to us “if u don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all”? #loveourleague #wnba.

Guess that’s why we shot it better in the 2nd half… correct 3 pt distance!! FYI with 8 teams at one site you get so little prep time on the main court and your focus is on game planning and simply getting shots up!.
