This is Sherri Coale’s 25th season as head coach of the women’s Oklahoma basketball program.

She has spent almost half of her life coaching the Lady Sooners, and today is her birthday.

Born Jan. 19, 1965, Coale’s 25-year run coaching women’s basketball at the University of Oklahoma is the longest of any men’s or women’s basketball coach in OU history.
