For every Boilermaker, especially the ones who played in the early 2000โs, this picture not only makes you proud, but makes your heart swell with loyalty. Ever Grateful ๐๐

15,00 people on a Wednesday night showed up to a Womenโs basketball game. For a min do I think it was solely to see us, no. Caitlyn Clark is a generational talent. Did we get the Win, no, but last night Womenโs Basketball Won.
Destanni Henderson is doing exactly what most of us who Coached against her at SC thought she would do in the league. Every year she added something to her game. So much respect ๐๐ฝ
When a program makes it to the Final Four it touches every former player, former manger, assistant Coach, support staff member, practice player, families & fans. It happened to us in 99 & itโs happening again!

Tonight, I share this with so many amazing Coaches, teammates, & of course, my family.
Shooters itโs so vital you work on your handles. Trust me, at the next level you will be trapped, face guarded, & locked the entire time. You must be able to handle that pressure AND still be able to shoot.
Thank you to everyone who reached out today, I promise Iโll get back to you. Excited for this next chapter & more excited to be coming home.

A couple takeaways from today:

An older Woman fell dizzy on my flight last night, before I could even think 3 nurses jumped up & began to help. One taking vitals, another instructing the flight attendants, & I sat there thinkingโฆ..Nurses & first responders YOU ARE SO APPRECIATED! โค๏ธ
Iโve written so many things & erased. I know 2 things for sure. If you still think there isnโt privilege in American I canโt hang with you. And second, I know sometimes you have to take steps back to go forward. I hope this is true today.
