Swin Cash: “Behind the branding of U-Conn., she was the execution,” said Swin Cash, an all-American at Connecticut and the No. 2 pick in the 2002 WNBA draft the year she graduated, after teammate Sue Bird. “We would say, ‘Why are we going to this Big East event and we have to wear dress casual when other teams are coming in their team sweats?’ We used to always get, ‘Well, are you like the other teams? Do you want to look like the other teams? Or are you U-Conn.?’ ”

Jamelle Elliott: “She taught us how to walk into a room and look millionaires in the eye, or have a conversation with somebody that’s out of our age group,” said Elliott, now the head coach at Cincinnati. “Those things have really stayed with me now that I’m a head coach. . . . Those are the things that are priceless that she cared about. She made sure that we were prepared post-U-Conn. to be able to function in society.”
