My parents prepared me for the moment. My husband prepared me for this! The SEC prepared me for this moment! Jose Fernandez prepared me! Karl Smesko & Lynne Bria prepared me for this moment! My Lord & Savior anointed me for this exact moment!

This broke me. I have so much to say about this but a tweet won’t do Justice. The fight that WOC fight is like none other. I hate that Dawn has to say this but it has to be sad. Go ahead and criticize it if you want but she’s not making this up. SMH
"We're not bar fighters. We're not thugs. We're not monkeys. We're not street fighters. ... So watch what you say when you're in public and you're talking about my team in particular."
South Carolina coach Dawn Staley had a message for the media.
One hell of a ride! THANK YOU to everyone that wrapped their arms around this program! THANK YOU Oxford & SIP community! SEC fan base, Bahamian massive 🇧🇸 TEAM 48 signing out! Time to get to work! Love y’all!

So here’s how our convo went:
Caitlin: hey coach good to see you
Me: I’m so proud of you, I’m a fan of yours
Caitlin: coach I’m a fan of yours too
* I wanted to faint but played it cool🤣*
Iowa has a good one! Caitlin is the future! So good for our game!

It’s not the athletes. It’s adults (always) using this platform to be hateful, sexist and downright disrespectful! I bet if Angel & Caitlin would to see each other down the road there would be love. Let’s call it what it is! And don’t come in my mentions talking crazy!
Good morning twitterverse! I want to tweet back at everyone and text everyone back but I can’t. Please know that I love and appreciate every stinking one of you that have loved us all season! Team 48 is special and we don’t want to be done so please bare w me.

I am asking all to pray along with our Ole Miss family for Brooke as she was in a car accident a week ago. She is in critical but stable condition & is improving daily but will need prayers as she gets through this. 💙❤️🫶🏽 God Bless.
Y’all! That call gets called ALL THE TIME with that Pistol action! All the time! She moved to set the rescreen. I think Geno screamed the way he did because he wish he could have that play back. Lawd I’ve been there! Tough way to go out. One hell of a job by the Huskies!
I am truly saddened to see videos of college students partying without a mask. Student athletes,coaches, admin have been working tirelessly to follow the rules man!. Jobs have been lost, lives changed/lost! What is it going to take? Wear a mask! 😷
I get a lot of “fun, energetic” descriptions but seldom I get the compliment of being a good coach! For some odd reason. (Sigh) That’s why I got love for the Chief! Because we have to celebrate each other & be truth tellers or else many will frame it as just fun/games. ❤️💙🐔
Be mad at me for wanting more for women’s sports! I can live with that but I’m going to always be an advocate for women’s sports! I have two daughters. My players, staff and I work hard for this University. There is no price tag on what we did for the University last year! None!

⬇️ a snippet of an intense practice from yesterday . My heart smiled during this segment. Coaches we are cheating our plyrs if we don’t have expectations! Help them grow.Challenge them! Hoopers: it won’t be roses all the time! Embrace coaching! All day everyday❤️💙🎥
@SenseiHoops
THANK YOU OLE MISS for giving this young girl from the Bahamas a chance to Teach, Develop and Inspire! When I got this opportunity I was left with 4 players! But GOD! 3 years later we’re the
#4
team in the SEC! To God Be the Glory! 🙏🏽❤️💙
My pg was speaking life into me. This girl has been a blessing to this team and in my life! We call her Post Season Myah. This is truly her story!
@myah_taylor
When I first got to Ole Miss I had a “legendary coach” try to shame me on National television about me being on social media. Since then…. Anyways! Morale of the story! Be YOU! Unapologetically! And remember you can always mute, block or unfollow.

Woke up honestly a little down this AM but grateful. Crazy to think where we started that I woke up dissatisfied after a 24-9 season. Most conference wins in programs history, 3rd place finish, & tons of growth moments for our program. Got to keep chopping wood! 💡
I’m hoping we don’t take away from how great WBB has been all season by dumping it on officiating! So many great stories came alive! Personalities drove up ratings! New faces in the Final Four! New Stories! We have a lot more room to grow as a sport but we are well on our way!
To God Be the Glory‼️🔵🔴 So many people to thank but if you’ve helped me win one game… player or coach… THANK YOU‼️ My admin & my Oxford, MS THANK YOU! To my wonderful husband & family that has been there with me for all of this THANK YOU!
#NoCeilings
Coaches (female) every place I go to in July I get a hotel with two beds. If you’re vaccinated and your budget is tight, DM me. I’ve slept on many couches all to do my job! I’m starting off in Dallas ✌🏽
So many emotions right now. To our Oxford community, students, faculty, and fans from near and far we love you! Thanks to everyone for your support. Today was special!

I wonder how many shots she makes daily? That needs to be talked about more. Not that she makes them but how much work goes into it! Like is she just gifted? 🤯 because you can’t make this up.
REST IN PEACE to 16-year-old Bryce Brooks of Atlanta who died after heroically jumping into the ocean in Florida trying to rescue four younger children that he didn't know from drowning. The children survived.
Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Special thanks to our fans & family that traveled to support us. Special thanks to those that stuck with us all year even when it didn’t look bright. Good luck to Notre Dame. Hell of a team. Sad this is over but I’m also excited for what’s NEXT!

A couple things I’ve learned from being an assistant coach again. : (Thread)
1. It’s incredibly hard to see the game when your head coach is standing in front of the bench. Lol
As I head to the Final Four in Dallas this year to learn, fellowship & watch hoops with hopes that soon I will be heading there with my team, I wanted to bring back one of my quotes. “Normalize not talking to me, if you talk about me (negatively that is) “ Be Blessed. ❤️💙
I’ve been struggling to find the right words with the passing of my friend & sister
@NikkiMccray15
. This woman has been a beacon of light and hope & I will be forever grateful for her lessons, prayers and love. We lost a great person and gained an angel. RIH 🕊️💔too soon
👀 THIS! This is what it’s all about! Love to see this! And I love that I don’t have to worry about disrespectful & rude fans. Two places on the road where fans are knowledgeable and classy to opponents: South Carolina & TN.
Christ is my firm foundation
The rock on which I stand
When everything around me is shaken
I've never been more glad
That I put my faith in Jesus
'Cause He's never let me down
He's faithful through generations
So why would He fail now?
He won't!!!!
Happy Birthday to me 🎂Blessed!
Don’t let last nights ending distract you from the job Geno and those women did this year! Adversity came and they made it to the Final Four! How elite is that! Respect to the Huskies! Elite
Instead of saying LSU is awful why not give Auburn credit? They are a TOUGH out & especially hard to play at their place. Ppl don’t want to admit it but our league is good! We can’t control the rankings but top to bottom the SEC is the best it’s been in a while.
This is Mr. Hoover. Shared some good news with me today that almost brought me to tears. When I first met him we took a pic but I didn’t know he was diagnosed with cancer. He found me today to tell me that he has been cleared of it all! To God be the Glory!
Selection Sunday‼️ I remember when I first got to Ole Miss. I looked at my team and said “we won’t be going on spring break much longer. We will be dancing in March!” 4 years later after saying this..this will be our 3rd time dancing! To God Be the Glory‼️

To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat ❤️💙

I spoke to an AAU coach today that uses all of her vacation to coach other peoples kids. In 10 years she hasn’t had a vacation with her family. The sacrifice is real! Hoopers! Thank your coaches!

Got a text this morning and I wanted to cry. While I’m out recruiting, my players got together to help fill the backpacks for my back 2 school drives. And I didn’t ask them to. They are just good people that understand service. ❤️💙

Woke up not feeling great because I’m a competitor.But my husband reminded me of this. Our team is 23-8:6 losses to Top 15 teams, 3 of those to
#1
team in the Country. 1 to a recent conference champ & 1 to an in State rival. Perspective! Lord I am so grateful! We. Are. Not. Done!
Today my girls surprised me with an early Christmas gift! Totally unexpected! I almost missed it because I was so locked in! Lol but it made me pause & express my appreciation for them. I’m blessed to be on this journey with them! ❤️💙
Today is GOOD FRIDAY: for those that don’t know what it is.
It’s the Friday before Easter, the day on which Christians annually observe the commemoration of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
No other love Greater than! I am because He is! ✝️
Y’all Geno has been at UConn for 39 years 🤯. I’m 41 😩. He is truly something special! To stay dominant and relevant for this long. Impressive man! Jay Z of WBB.
IT’s NOT ok to be on a scholarship to play a sport and not show appreciation. Here’s how you can do that: Have great energy, be coachable, say please & thanks, no complaining, go to class, try to give your best in practice and games. 💡
The amount of love my team and I received in Greenville not only from our fans but from other SEC fans do not go unnoticed! Thank you to every person that stopped me and spoke life into me and my program, cheered for us, and wished us well! God Bless! ❤️💙
NEWS FLASH: it’s OK to celebrate people’s success! You can compete with someone and still be happy for them! What’s for you will be for you! Trust that!
Coach you continue to set the bar for everyone around you! You are a winner, a leader, a mentor and just an all around good person! Thank you! For showing me what I can be! Much love!

Can we talk about how Ju Ju dismissed the Clark “hateration”? Class and maturity to not let it slide and correct it right there on the spot. That’s high level! Kudos to her mom and whomever else helped with her growth!
