Minnesota Women’s Basketball: Lindsay Whalen Press Conference Recap

The Minnesota Golden Gophers officially introduced new women’s basketball coach Lindsay Whalen to the public at a press conference from center court at Williams Arena Friday afternoon. Whalen needs no introduction as she starred for the Gophers from 2000-2004 leading the Gopher women to their only Final Four in school history in 2004. Whalen obviously has the basketball IQ for the job, but as we all know there is a lot more into coaching than just basketball IQ. Her press conference this afternoon was the first look into her plans for how she plans to run her program and how she plans to balance the running of a Power Five basketball program and continue to play in the WNBA for the Minnesota Lynx.
