WBB's new assistant coach is.... - CompSci87 - 04-17-2017

Lindy LaRoque! Welcome back to Stanford!

http://www.gostanford.com/news/2017/4/17/womens-basketball-the-farm-is-where-the-heart-is.aspx

By the way, during the NCAAs when the cameras kept showing Jon Samuelson in the stands cheering for Karlie, did anyone else notice Lindy (or someone who looked a lot like her) sitting a row in front of him at one of the games?

Yep we did.  :)

Great to have her back.  Grad assistant at Oklahoma while getting her Masters then 2 years assistant at Belmont and to the NCAAs twice.  Staff was so goode that Florida hired their Head Coach last onth as their new Head Coach

Good to have Lindy back.  Looking forward to asking her silly questions at chalk talks.  ;)

Yes indeed!  How about: "When you were a player, did you read the Cardboard?"

She was a lot like Karlie as a player on defense--one of those "coaches on the floor" that understood the defense well, and I expect she will help our young guards adjust to college level defense.  For some reason her three point shooting declined over her career.

I also wonder if this means that Kate will not be working with the guards as much now that she is Associate.  Will Lindy be doing every other scouting report, or will Kate still do those?  Interesting.

Please, please, please don't disrespect Karlie that way.  Lindy never came close to playing defense like Karlie and it scares the bejeesus out of me thinking of her coaching players on defense.

one thing for sure, she can show how to dive for loose balls - remember this play vs. Cal?  https://youtu.be/L-JO0vZJOeg

Never saw that play before.  Phenomenon!

Great to have Lindy.  She's going to be a great defensive coach to boot
