A bittersweet moment for sure, but surreal to say the least. I can't wait to get to work. Let's do this, Carolina!
I've talked to more recruits from the south in the past ✌🏽 weeks than I ever have in ten years of coaching. Have to admit: love opening up my network in new areas, but going to have to get used to this yes/no ma'am thing. Southern hospitality is real ya'll! I'm loving it. 💙🐏👣
Now, before I say this, let me lead with the fact that I was coached by nothing but men growing up, but that was 20+ years ago. So, I say this now with legitimate concern: where are all the women coaches on these sidelines in the summer?! It’s time y’all. Representation matters!
What an incredible day. One that I will remember forever. THANK YOU to everyone that helped make this moment possible. I will do everything in my power to help make this program relevant again. It's time to get to work! Let's get it!

Meant to post how awesome it felt to walk into the office yesterday for the first time as a HC and find this note left from the 🐐 herself, Kathy Delaney-Smith. The torch has officially been passed & I’m so honored to be the one this place has chosen. You will all get my best! ❤️
To my Michigan WBB family: I am forever grateful for the year spent with this program. I will cherish this season and the incredible people that are a part of this team for always. TY for allowing me to be a small part of this historic journey. Always & forever, Go Blue! 💙〽️
So many rookies get caught up in not playing and not being “the (wo)man” in college after a stellar prep career and get lost in the process. This is a great example of trusting the process and staying committed to the work. And being ready to make an impact when your name is…

And just like that, my first July in Carolina blue is complete. What a privilege and an honor it is to rep this University across my chest. Im taking this journey 1 day at a time for sure, but can’t wait to see what’s in store for our squad. Why not us?! Selfies for the win! 👣😍
PSA’s: This could be your coach too! Trust me, you’ll get better and she’ll squeeze out every ounce of potential you’ve got in your years with her. Hop on the bandwagon now, she’s a proven winner!

How many assistant coaches are FaceTiming recruits?! If you're not, you may want to think about it. It's relationship building 101 and there's no better way to really get comfy and get to know than to see who you're speaking with. Get hip or get lost in the shuffle!
I am eternally grateful for my forever first team. This crew set the tone for a new championship era of HWBB. It may be the end to this season, but it's only the beginning for what's to come for this program. Thanks for showing up in the best way, crew. It's only up from here! ❤️
I've worked for you for 🖐🏽 years and watched you consistently give your best to
@PrincetonWBB
to earn an opportunity like this one. Didn't think you'd ever leave, but it's incredible to watch you live out your dreams. Thx for everything,
@CoachBanghart
and congrats on the hire!
Recruiting is the lifeblood of every program. I learned that very early on in my coaching career. Dive into relationships with young women and their families and let them know you genuinely care. It's the equation for success in this business IMO...
Found a 🐐 in Harvard Square today! So great to see you,
@KBA_GoBlue
. You are and will forever be a little piece of home for me. Thank you for always being such a great boss, mentor and friend. Big hugs to all my Wolverine fam! ❤️〽️
As I scroll through Twitter this week and see all these portal updates, it makes me incredibly grateful to coach at a place where our SAs make a four year and FOREVER decision. It's not about transactions, but all about transformations over time. Our culture is unfolding daily!
What a weekend sporting Carolina for the first time! I must say I'm incredibly humbled & overwhelmed with all the love and support from friends, family, colleagues, complete strangers, etc. It absolutely means the world to me, so thank you. God is good, man. Go Heels! 👣💙🏀
I really hope everyone’s mental is ok right now. So much going on and we’re just supposed to continue with our everyday?! Stay strong and lean in to those that you love most. 🙏🏽❤️|

Amazed at how empty the workout room was at the only Marriott in town this morning!?! Regardless, I’m committed to moving my body before getting in these gyms for long hours this weekend. I highly suggest if you’re a coach, doing the same. Energy level in the morning and…
Unreal accomplishment to be on this list with so many amazing influential leaders in our sport. Humbled by this for sure, but so motivating to keep impacting lives in the best way. The journey continues!

8AM game: A player just yelled at her teammate enthusiastically from behind about her made FT in the 1st half, as if she just hit the game winner.
To that great teammate, thanks for setting the tone for Day ✌🏽. I hope I can bring 1/2 as much enthusiasm to this day as you!
Sat through a
@UConnWBB
practice today and can't say enough about the precision and pace they play with. Their attention to detail is unlike anything I've seen. Walked out of that practice facility a better coach for sure. Can't wait to get on the court tomorrow with our team!
I would trade in all these fancy shoes to have seen this team win today. What an accomplishment for this group to even get to this point. THANK YOU to our seniors for your persistence all year and to our young guys, we will get better and we will be back. I can’t wait. Go Heels!
This whole coaching thing is pretty amazing, but I’ve never been able to do it near these two. Mum and dad, I’m so glad I was able to sneak home to see you both before the July crazy begins. Your unconditional light, love and support is everything. Thanks for filling me up! ❤️😘
I’m almost a decade in as a recruiting coordinator and the night before Sep 1st always has me HYPE! I can’t wait to see what this next recruiting cycle has in store for us at Michigan! Talk to y’all tomorrow. Let’s goooooo Blue! 🤩〽️📲🤞🏽
My whole circle is winning! Great to see that block M in the field of 68, along with all the other programs I was once a part of. So happy for this team, this program, the University of Michigan, and all my friends winning all over the country. It's time to dance, ya'll! 😤🙏🤞
And that’s a wrap on my first July rocking the block M! It feels so good to be recruiting with my own eyes again. And to be doing it at the greatest University in the world?! Dreams do come true!
And now the real work begins. Pick up y’all, Michigan is on the line! 😤〽️📲🤞🏽

Any talented graphic designers looking for some freelance opportunities?! I would love some help promoting our program this summer on socials and in mailboxes. Retweet to spread the word and DM if interested, please. Let's go! 😤🙏
A huge leap forward for our program this weekend. We will continue the necessary growth steps to push us forward and learn how to ultimately claim what is ours. We will be back, I can promise you that. Believe It! ❤️
My nugget for mental health awareness month: Take breaks OFF social media. Give yourself a day, a week, or even an entire month away from the nonsense that is and comes with Twitter, Insta, TikTok, etc. Free your mind/heart of the madness. I promise you will notice a change! 😎🙏
Cooked myself a meal, took a walk, did three loads of laundry, cleaned the entire apartment, packed my fridge with groceries, lit some candles, and watched an entire episode of one of my favorite shows. Did normal people things. Thank God for off days, especially on Sunday! 🙏😎
And just like that, our rookies are here! Good times at move-in today meeting 1/4 of our team, their family and friends. Lots of love and excitement surrounding this class and our program.

Happy birthday
@CoachBanghart

As I said to you earlier, what a journey of birthdays we've been a part of together. Your energy and tireless work ethic has and will always be an inspiration to me daily. Here's to our best year yet in the best shade of blue! 🎈💙👣
2021's: I know you probably don't know who this is, which is so very sad, but I can promise you, playing at Carolina will be the best thing that ever happened in your life too. This place is pretty great. Sooooo, let's get it!

A huge thank you to everyone for all the love, support and well wishes this past week. After a new job and a birthday, I have heard from SO many in and around my circle. It truly does mean the world to me. What a blessing it is to be living out my dream. My cup has runneth over!
I have to say, the work that I'm doing daily seems so trivial considering all that is going on. I wish the hours spent recruiting resulted in more change in the world...
Lord, help me continue to find the inspiration to lead and love by example. That is the real work. 🙏🏽❤️
So, we're four days in and I'm noticing a new youth hoops trend. The diaper tuck is old news and it looks like we've now transitioned to creative spandex that lays longer than the ever so short (and X small) game shorts. This generation is full of surprises, what's next?! 👀😤
It’s no surprise this woman has blazed her own trail in this business the way that she has throughout the years. Your passion, fire, and relentless pursuit of greatness is inspiring and I love being a part of your everyday. Keep crushing it and let’s get these rings,

Had a serious moment of gratitude this afternoon: opened up my mail for the first time @ Carolina and it was packed with spring love and support from friends in the business. I'm so thankful for the encouragement and inspiration in these words...
My cup (and heart) is FULL. 😊💙
Clocked in at 8:05am and clocking out at 11pm today at GUAA Finals. These hours we put in at these tournaments for weekends at a time are long, but so worth it to build the future we want for our program. Back at it at 8:05am tomorrow. Believe It! 🤩
Give yourself permission to have a moment. A moment to unwind, a moment to tune out the world, and a moment to tune into yourself.

Walked into the gym this morning in the great state of Michigan and was greeted with a, “Welcome Home” at the check-in table. Cant think of a better way or place to start round ✌🏽 of July recruiting!

🌿 No. 9 Princeton vs. No. 8 West Virginia
🌿 No. 12 Columbia vs. No. 12 Vanderbilt
FYI: Ivy League rules prohibit grad SAs from competing in varsity sports. Prior to covid, transfers out of our league were VERY uncommon. I am pumped to watch our players crush it next year at p5s, BUT it's bittersweet because the option to stay +1 year is not even on the table.
Took my first evening walk since the season started and it was LOVELY. Used to be an everyday occurrence during quarantine and then things got crazy again. Here's to making myself and my peace a priority again the next couple months! 🤞🙏
So sad to see you go, but so excited to watch you grow. They are so lucky to have you,
@Kenzie4bs
. I can’t wait to see the tremendous impact you have on this program. I guess I’m a Trojan fan now!? 🥹❤️🤩
Present and accounted for in this gym and can’t wait to lay my eyes on the future of this program! I need energy and intangibles. Here we go!

So...who wants in?!

You leave places, not people. And I'm THRILLED to know that these amazing humans will 4ever be a part of my journey. I gave everything to this program & I hope you felt that every day. Its such a privilege to be a Tiger. Thx for making me better, squad. Now go make history! ❤️🐯
What a week with this special group! Still missing one, but loving the energy and intensity that defines this program. Still pinching myself everyday that I’m coaching at the greatest University in the world! 😤🤞🏽〽️
Welp, that's a wrap on July recruiting. I hope our favs felt the love this month, as we look forward to what the next couple months will bring!
With that being said, though, I can't wait to coach our current team this season. It's about to be a movie. Is it August yet?! ❤️😤🤞
What an emotional year for me in so many ways, personally and professionally. I asked to be uncomfortable and the universe gave it to me and then some. Here's to finding a new cozy in life, settling in, and a whole lot of happy in this new year. Let's get it, 2020!
Definitely feeling the love today... 👣💙
Year 10 in coaching has already been unlike anything I ever could have imagined, but I’m confident I’m right where I’m supposed to be. So hype to be a part of this program and can’t wait until tip-off tonight. Here we go, Carolina!
Everywhere I’ve worked, I’ve been lucky enough to be surrounded by winners. Carolina is clearly no different. Congrats

Preparation is such a huge part of success. So proud of how our team prepared for our games this week and can't wait to do it again next Friday. If you're in the Boston area and haven't come watch us play yet, you're missing out. See you next week. Go Crim! ❤️
This little human has changed our family forever. You are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, Julianna Lila Moore. Can’t wait to love and spoil you daily. ❤️😍
