“I told her it had been a privilege to compete against her because people who love basketball appreciate the way she plays it. She is really talented and I think she is going to be a great pro. I told her that as well. I think she is going to have a great professional career because she’s very different. When she catches it, you know, I’m sure WNBA coaches will say, well, she can’t shoot the three. Okay, fine, you can’t keep her from scoring inside the arc. She has a really nice IQ for the game. She competes, she defends, and I just have a lot of respect for her.”
– Oklahoma Head Coach Sherri Coale
