A sad day in North Carolina
Kay Yow is a legend.
And she’s the nicest coach I’ve ever known.
When I was a kid, like 8 or 9 I think, I went to an N.C. State game that she was coaching. After the game, she took time to shake some fans’ hands, including mine. How many coaches do that?
When I was in my mid-20s, I interviewed her for my former newspaper. It was like we had known each other for years.
She might not have been the greatest coach of all time, but she certainly deserves as many accolades as the best.
Her spirit was unmatched.
Her drive to teach youth was second to none.
Her desire for equal opportunity was unbreakable.
Her legend lives on.
