An inspiring episode for anyone who has a dream and wants to listen to someone who made it happen. Coach Ivey also gives the full scouting report on her son Jaden, who was scooped up by the Detroit Pistons as the fifth overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft. Now that she’s stepped into the head role, Coach Ivey talks about what it took to get there, what it means to lead her alma mater, her coaching philosophy, and her time in the NBA.
Pure entertainment!Ĥ) Years into Niele Ivey‘s coaching career, Muffet McGraw and the Notre Dame Athletics administration saw her as the future of the school’s women’s basketball program. That’s why you’ll start listening, but you’ll keep listening because she shares a referee’s perspective on calls (and missing calls), how she went from engineer to ‘Hardwood HERstory’, and the bees she has to keep up with off the court. We asked Dee Kantner to join the podcast because she was one of the first women to referee in the NBA. Want to simply learn more about the history of the game? Listen to this episode!!ģ) Dee Kantner. A walking women’s basketball encyclopedia. She has stories for days and was kind enough to share some of them. Love it!!!Ģ) Ann Meyers Drysdale (also a Hall of Famer) probably played pickup with either your favorite basketball player or your parent’s favorite basketball player. She then went back to them after all her success and said, long and tall and that’s NOT all. They would say, long and tall and that’s all. The first woman to score a basket at the Olympics for USA Basketball, she led Delta State to three college championships and was drafted by an NBA team. Hardwood HERstory is a labor of love, here’s a list of things you can look forward to if you start listening:ġ) Lusia “Lucy” Harris is in the Hall of Fame. I give back to the game through storytelling. Some people give back to the sport through coaching or working for a team. And despite the fact that they all had a non-negotiable impact on the game, you probably haven’t heard of some of them. A has-been hooper (although I’m still confident in my jumper) and the host of one of NBC Sports’ latest podcasts, “ Hardwood HERstory.” The purpose of the pod is to tell the stories of athletes who changed women’s basketball.
