31 years in college coaching and felt honored everyday to be called ‘Coach’… excited for what’s ahead and next in life!
Grateful and Goodbye… ❤️

, longtime MSU women's hoops coach, didn't expect to be retired at 53 -- but she has no regrets, either. In her first detailed comments since the car accident that accelerated retirement, she opens up on her health and her new, best life.
