"I'm a 15-year fan of Kim Mulkey and her Baylor Lady Bears. I'm happy about the well-deserved Big 12 awards to Coach KIm and Nina Davis. I know you meant to honor BU's Khadijiah Cave with the Sixth Man Award, but she's a woman and this is women's basketball. It's time the award's name was changed."
I sent that to the Big 12. I hope they think about this before 2016's awards.
Wonderful, tear-inducing AP story and 13 photos of Virginia coach Joanne Boyle and her adopted daughter Ngoty.
