I of course knew Coquese was an assistant at ND, but a few tidbits I just learned from that news release:
- She was the captain of ND's first NCAA tournament team in 1992.
- She earned her Juris Doctorate from ND in 1997.
- She was a leader of the WNBA Players Association.
I'm willing to bet the OU AD gave Coale no choice about making major changes if she wanted to keep her job.
Lots of eyes will be watching Oklahoma's performance next season. 2018-19 was a very deep nadir, à la Rutgers two years ago. But they return everyone except Pellington and a little-used backup post player. Coale really needs a strong showing and NCAA tournament bid to show that she still has a future with the program.
