No really, what has gotten in to the NY Times? It's great!! Another piece on women's baskeball, this time on the fantabulous Kay Yow. Writes Viv B. of last year's tournament run:
It would have been a fitting cap to Yow’s Hall of Fame career, except that she had no intention of seeing it end. She did not retire. Yow’s treatment was successful enough to allow her to go off chemotherapy for five months. She regained her strength, and her taste for Southern cooking, which had disappeared during treatments. Yow even went back on the road over the summer to recruit players.
“She’s very low key, laid-back personality, reserved, quiet,” the
associate head coach Stephanie Glance said. “She is one driven woman. And it’s funny, I think people sometimes underestimate that.”
