Oregon st men’s coach Tinkle

[Vowelguy]

Is from Montana, which I’m pretty sure is the home of former Stanford player Jolsin Tinkle?
are they related?

"Wayne is married to Lisa McLeod, a former player for the Lady Griz.[13] They have two daughters; Joslyn, who plays for the Sydney Uni Flames professional women's basketball team, and Elle, a former player at Gonzaga; and a son Tres, who plays for him at Oregon State.[14]"

I was looking for @Vowelguy 's men's-plus-women's-teams-in-NCAAs thread but didn't find it right away, and since this one just popped up I'll just use it to point out that the 5th seeded Tennessee just got creamed by the 12th seeded bid stealers from Corvallis who wouldn't even be in the tournament but for a Pac-12 tournament run.

So, no twin championships for the Vols.

The whole family got a bunch of face time at the end of the game. The sisters were quite well known for sitting near the court and cheering very vigorously for little brother Tres during his playing career. Josyln especially, maybe a bit over the top.

You might have recognized them if not for the face masks. Well w/ Elle between the baseball cap pulled down low and the mask, there was barely any face showing at all.

Yes they are very much related lol. Father and daughter. Younger daughter/sis played for Gonzaga and was solid

Yes, Wayne was the OSU MBB coach when the youngest daughter played for Gonzaga, and she was coached by Kelly Graves. Gonzaga beat OSU WBB in NCAA playoffs at OSU (while Wayne was the OSU MBB coach). Small world.

There are folks on the Stanford fan boards still pining for Wayne Tinkle as men's BB coach. OSU hired him a year before Stanford fired Johnny Dawkins.
