Toot...Toot

This post is not meant to be arrogant or cocky; but, as I approach my birthday, I thought about the number of women's basketball people (coaches, players, etc.) I've been able to schedule to appear on KCOH 1430 AM (www.kcohradio.com) Sports Rap. Plus, if I don't toot my own horn, why should anyone else toot it for me?

I want to thank Mr. Ralph Cooper, Sports Rap's host, for providing me the opportunity to stay in Houston sports radio as well as allowing me to schedule these guests.

Monday, March 5, Cynthia Cooper, Prairie View A&M's head coach appeared on the show. Yesterday, Todd Buchanan, head coach of Houston Baptist University's women's basketball team appeared on the show. Both of them have appeared on the show before; but, here are the names of the other women's basketball people -- not just players (I can remember off the top of my head) who've been guests:

Sheryl Swoopes; Tina Thompson; Michelle Snow; Dominique Canty; Karleen Thompson; Van Chancellor; Kevin Cook; Mfon Udoka; Chandi Jones; Sancho Lyttle; Kiemona Harris, center for the Houston Lady Cougars; Joe Curl, women's head coach at the University of Houston; Claude Cummings, head coach of women's hoops at TSU; Denise Taylor; head coach at Jackson State University; Shane Brown, former head coach at HBU; Cristy McKinney, former head women's coach at Rice, now head coach at Clemson; Shanice Stephens, currently an assistant coach at Clemson; Val Ackerman, former WNBA President; Donna Orender, current WNBA President; Marie Ferdinand, guard for the San Antonio Silver Stars; Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike, Cy-Fair High School; LaToya Micheaux, Texas A&M, Bianca Smith, University of Colorado; Jasmin Moore, Houston Baptist University; members of the Houston Elite White 17U AAU Team; Kim Lawson, Johnetta Hayes, Starla James, and Lindsey Maynard (former Rice Owls players).

I'm sure I missed a few; but, that's merely because I'm getting old and forgetful not because I didn't appreciate them as guests.

Once again, KCOH has been approved to cover the Women's Final Four and this is a very special achievement to me because, in general, less than five radio stations throughout the country apply for and receive Women's Final Four press credentials regardless of the teams participating in the event. KCOH may not be the biggest station in Houston; but, the station gets the job done. The same applies for The Houston Roundball Review.

    I will be attending the 2007 Women's Final Four in Cleveland. This will be my sixth Final Four trip in a row (San Antonio '02, Atlanta '03, New Orleans '04, Indianapolis '05, and Boston '06).

    I would like to take this moment to thank Kris and Ralph for giving me the opportunity to cover the Women's Final Four for The Houston Roundball Review and KCOH Radio as a member of the media for the second year in a row. Once again, I look forward to working with Kris in getting the best interviews and latest and greatest breaking news of the Women's Final Four and WNBA.
