A few takeaways for me:  Gallagher is brilliant.  He's a high-school coach, probably not used to answering more than a few questions at a time.  He did a half-hour interview with no uhs, y'knows, and all that, and gave substantive answers and told great stories.  And Bri did a great job -- she asked open-ended questions and gave him plenty of space to answer them.

I love the story about the game when Caroline was an eighth grader.  She put the team on her back.  She sank a three, stole the ball and scored an and-one, then sank another three.  The Noble crowd was chanting, "She's an 8th-grader, she's an 8th-grader."  Caroline is sort-of an opposite of Stewie -- Stewie was always tall and deliberately developed guard skills.  Caroline was a point guard who had a huge growth spurt and is developing an inside game.  I also liked the anecdotes about her injuries -- she used the recovery time from the ACL to develop and improve her shots; became an extra coach when she was recovering from shoulder surgery.  From what I've heard, she still spends a lot of time on the scouting reports and film.
