The Jenni Carlson Show: Former OU women’s basketball coach Sherri Coale has a couple of comparisons for Caitlin Clark — and both of them have been NBA All-Stars.
Sherri Coale remembers when it was a big deal for OU and every other Big 12 women’s basketball team to have two conference games guaranteed to be on TV. That was one of many growth moments the former Sooner women’s basketball coach experienced during her tenure.

Coale talks about all that and more on The Jenni Carlson Show.
