Hunh, this coach I heard about coaching in this backwoods school named Baylor isn't listed there. Wonder why?

 

Way to go Coach KA!!
No doubt our COTY!!
Longhorn Nation!!

 

K.Aston has done a Outstanding Job.

 

I have criticized Aston's decisions in the past, but it is simply GREAT to watch her and her players progress with so much humility.

One thing I absolutely love about her is that after every loss, she never puts the blame solely on the players.

Proud of her.

 

my first thought as well when reading the list. Had to read it twice to make sure I hadn't skipped the name.
