She was the 45th rank player in the Hoopgurlz Top 100.

And her little sister, who also was on the way to play ball at Nebraska, was released from her scholarship as well?

Coach Yori: "We understand that young people will go through some tough times in their growth toward maturity. The transition into college is often difficult for student-athletes and their parents."

"...and their parents." ?? Doesn't sound like a happy situation...

Bummer for them. Yori has built a really solid program there. Better than some much higher profile coaches like Coale, at least over the pats 4-5 years...

 

[huskeynut]

Yori has done a great job.

No program is immune to transfers as we well know. Sometimes its just not a good fit.

Coale has a high profile due to her hair.

Kind of tough on Sherri, aren't you Eric?

Sooners got to the 2009 and 2010 final fours and played for the national championship in 2002 under
coach Coale.

Coach Yori has a solid program, but she hasn't sniffed a final four yet.

I did not recall them making the 2010 final 4. I"m just going from my impressions lately - you don't hear much about Oklahoma, and Nebraska has been ranked in the top 25 a lot more lately than OK it seems. Plus looking at the future - recruiting - in 2015 Nebraska landed top 10 kid Shephard. Either way, nice job by Yori.

Wow that's the 3rd top-100 player to leave before Xmas!
USC, UConn, nebraska

Sometimes player, HS and AAU coaches and parents overestimate their ability to play at this level. Or sometimes its just the culture is too different...........Coaches need to level with these players early and this is what happens......Everybody needs to be happy...........

Coach Yori has done an outstanding job to be sure, but to conclude that she has done a better job than Coale at Oklahoma is a stretch. I agree with edfourourgirls. Oklahoma got back to the Final Four the season after the Paris twins departed. One would be hard pressed to name a single ballplayer from that 2010 team much less the star of that team; An incredible accomplishment. I have no way of knowing exactly how much influence Coach Auriemma had in Coale landing the Oklahoma job, but it is fair to say that she never gets the job if Coach Auriemma does not recruit Stacey Hansmeyer.

 

[DobbsRover2]

Yeah, even though Yori's team has done better in the regular season for the last three years than Coale's teams, they are both 3-3 in the tourney, and Nebraska generally takes a dive after mid March. And in the three years before that, OK always finished ahead in the USA Today poll and went 10-3 in the tourney to Nebraska's 2-1 off of the Cornhuskers' one appearance as a #1 seed, though it was OK that won that regional to get to the FF.

So it is a stretch to say that Yori's 5-4 NCAA record during the last six years is better than Coale's 13-6 record and of course six tourney appearances. OK has definitely slipped back some though in the last three years.

Danielle Robinson, now one of the best point guards in the WNBA. She was a sophomore when the Paris twins were seniors.

I was talking currently and recently. Not ancient history.

Past 4-5 years; Completely understood; The Parris twins senior year to the present. I probably should started a separate paragraph to discuss Coach Auriemma's role in Coach Coale's career.

Lincoln, Nebraska is out in the middle of nowhere...

LOL that would be good. Still, I did forget Oklahoma made the final 4 a few years back. Again, it was just my impression, not based on facts as I did not research it...

Danielle Robinson, now one of the best point guards in the WNBA. She was a sophomore when the Paris twins were seniors.

It took a while for me to remember Ms Robinson, an outstanding ballplayer at Oklahoma. Abi Olajuwon's name popped into my head, as did Whitney Hand who may have been injured in 2010.
