Hello KAY PHI YOW! Welcome to our space! I was so moved today after reading all of the emails and listening to countless recollections of how Coach Yow has affected your lives and how much she means to you. I felt so inspired and so uplifted that I did not want it to end. I kept thinking there must be something I could do to keep us all connected and to keep this going. Of course there's always email, facebook and myspace but I thought this would be a really nice place for all of us to come and share stories and stay connected with each other. We really have something special Wolfpack Family and its all because of one person...to some she's a friend..to some she's a sister...to some she's a mother...but to all she's is an example and most importantly she is our leader. Your words were so candid and so special and I hope we can keep this going. I hope that you all will enjoy reading and sharing your thoughts as we once again come together as one family to lift the spirits of our leader of the pack (Coach Yow). Talisha Scates Class of 2002

Leader of the Pack

Leader of the Pack

Thursday, January 8, 2009

Hope you don’t mind a man chiming in I worked with Coach Yow from her first season until 2000 as the play-by-play voice for many of the Wolfpack Women games on TV and radio. She made me feel like one of the family and that’s why I’m writing. During one of the ACC Tournaments in Fayetteville, she and I were talking at the hotel before the Pack played the 1pm game. My final comment to her was “don’t forget to come by after the game and talk.” Obviously I meant to talk on the post-game radio show. Immediately after the final horn, Coach Yow headed to the dressing room and never made it on the radio. Later in the day she asked how the broadcast went. “Fine, until you didn’t come by to talk after the game,” I said. After a moment, she apologetically replied, “Oh I didn’t know you meant a ‘professional’ talk!” At that moment I knew I really wasn’t a member of the media, but a member of the Wolfpack Women Family! Of course, Coach Yow makes everyone she talks to feel like a lifelong friend! My head will be bowed everyday at noon!
