You beat me to it. I was actually going to post that. She is an exception to the rule...she was a great player that turns out to be an excellent coach. She has done great things with that program already.
Wishing her continued success.

Is Katie ready for DI?
Should IPFW give her a chance?
Her sister played for IPFW from 2000-2004.

Forgive me, not trying to hijack the thread, but if we're talking about former college greats who are moving into coaching here's a nice piece on Alexis Gray Lawson who is making her mark as a (high school) coach as well. Nice to see these young athletes move into coaching and pay it forward...

The Como girls basketball team won the Section 4AAA championship and is heading to the state tournament....This history-making 2016 Como girls team was led by first year head coach Alexis Gray-Lawson and her assistant coaches LaToya Turk, Alex Moore and Brian Pearson.
Gray-Lawson is a former WNBA player, who also played professionally in Europe. Her basketball acumen is extremely high, but the knowledge she passes on to her players is not limited to the X’s and O’s of the game.
Gray-Lawson, called “Coach Lex” by the girls, has instilled and modeled service to her players. She and her staff serve the community and school by supporting the team academically and emotionally. The coaches expect academic responsibility and good citizenship, but also spend time with the girls tutoring and working through challenges, as well as bonding through events and activities filled with jokes and laughter.
In turn, the girls willingly work on the court and in the classroom. Coach Lex said the team’s greatest strength is belief. They believe in themselves. They believe in each other. They believe in using their gifts and talents as best as they can to maximize their time together. |

| Katie's team knocked off #1 overall seed and #1 nationally ranked Morningside in the Elite Eightm. Her team is in the NAIA Final Four! I wouldn't be surprised to see some ADs mingling with her in Indy next month!
