I know who Stephanie White is but haven't paid a whole lot of attention to her. I am floored (and quite happily so) to read that she is married and she and her wife have three children. This has to be the first hire of an openly gay/lesbian coach who has a family. I'm pleased that this did not deter Vandy from pursuing her.

I'm pleased, too. I hope this translates into more openness, generally, for the coaching profession. Too much homophobia for too long.

Amen to that! Me three! It also occurred to me (well, to The Man first, actually) that Vandy will have probably the best-looking coaching staff in the SEC.

Well, that gets Carolyn Peck out of the broadcast booth, to the relief of many I'm sure! Laughing

It might pull Peck out of the WNBA docket this year, but I suspect she'll be back for a full slate of WNBA games next year.

I wonder if Chiney or LaChina will bump up to Peck's spot for the college games. I'd be surprised to see Chiney go overseas again, but anything can happen.
