By the late 80s I'd been living in southern VT for awhile and was working p-t at a bookstore. A regular customer and I got chatting and I commented that the only person I'd ever known with last name of Hamm had been a high school coach at Terryville HS in Connecticut. To my surprise she said that that person was her brother. When I said I was a UConn grad, and excited about Calhoun's recent success, she stunned me when she said
" I was the first coach of the Connecticut women's team in 1974. They're becoming very good right now." Sandra Hamm. At that point I started searching for info about the UConn women and learned about a player named Bascom.
P.S.- does anyone know of any film footage anywhere showing Kerry Bascom and crew in action ? Such a shame that the great player who led the first FF team seems to be archived only in black and white stills.
