Learned so much from you @CoachSueFSU but maybe the most important thing was PEOPLE FIRST. 15 years later and you still show me you care, means the world.
After 25 seasons at Florida State, the winningest coach in FSU history is retired. Thank you Coach Sue Semrau for your commitment and dedication to the growth of our game. You have been an amazing advocate for women’s basketball and we thank you. 🏀👏. #MarchMadness x 📸 @fsuwbb
