Catching up with Wildcat Koehn

Laurie Koehn is a lot of things, but patience isn’t high on her list of qualities.

Koehn, you see, is a doer and not a wait-a-rounder. But today, she waits for a very special call from any Santa from the WNBA ranks, or any European Santa, who has a numbered uniform and is willing to give her an opportunity to live her passion.

That’s to play basketball. “I still love to play enough that I’ll go to another planet if I have to,” said Koehn prior to a recent K-State basketball practice. “Right now I’m trying to stay in shape by working out and just waiting for something to open up overseas. It’s getting pretty late; it’s pretty much in the hands of my agent.”
