Absolutely! Some interesting info
She is in the ECU athletic hall of fame where she played two sports: softball and basketball. Very knowledgeable about both.
She just lost out in her conference tourney (Big South) while going for a 4 peat. LU was the three year or time defending conference champion. So she knows how to win tournaments.
Recruiting is a challenge to Farmville so she schedules a nice attractive early season trip while the school is on spring break. This spring they traveled to Hawaii and this is not their first trip there.
She is highly respected in the profession and this is in part how she has gotten teams to visit Farmville in addition to VT. The list includes UVA, UNC, Duke, NC State I think and maybe more. Most big name schools wouldn't schedule road games to lower Division I schools in fear of a black mark on the records.
Longwood University is a Division I school with enrollment of @5,000. Member of the Big South Conference and has made multiple trips to the NCAA. Normally sent to Tennessee.
Kathy has been at Longwood for about 20 years now and a great representative of her team, school and the community. She is a good friend of Scott Thomas as well.
