Sabrina is speaking at the Kobe memorial today, and then heading north to Palo Alto.

Wow... that is some intensity. Love you, Sab.

 

[Figurehead]

Wow!!!!

If you love womens basketball you need to hear her full tribute today to Kobe and his daughter at the service.

I hope someday a future Oregon coach when her playing days are over.

Here's is ESPN's 2 minute snippet talking at today's memorial about Kobe and Gigi. Very poised young women. . Ionescu remembers the first time she met Kobe and Gigi

Careful what you wish for. Great players do not make great (or even good?) coaches. Latest example (so far?) is Lindsay Whalen.

Diana and Geno also talked at the tribute.

Gotta start them out at the assistant level to gain experience and see if they really have the knack for coaching.

Actually, I guess their are exceptions. I think Kim Mulkey and Dawn Staley jumped in as head coaches and had good success quickly. Who else?

Kim Mulkey

Wiki claims Mulkey was an assistant for about 15 years, or am I misinterpreting this?

1985–1996	Louisiana Tech (assistant)
1996–2000	Louisiana Tech (assoc. hc)
