I remember the party we went to before the final four in New Orleans with her entire family and large group from Hutchinson. My favorite with her was @ a golf fund raiser when she hit the green on a par 3 of 195 yards and it landed about 10' from the hole. She shrugged her shoulders and said " people do this every weekend ? "

Full time coach, at least. Anyone else notice classless Sims declining to hug Coach Whalen in her final pro game ever?
