NORMAN — Patty Gasso, often unprompted, will tell you which of her players will make good coaches. Michelle Gascoigne was one of those.
“That was a no-doubter,” Gasso said.
In 2014, the year after her national championship senior season with the Sooners, Gascoigne was still on campus working toward a degree in education. She was student teaching by day and helping out the team in the late afternoons.
“Doing both at the same time, it kind of made me realize that I really did just want to coach,” Gascoigne said.
Now in her fourth season as Northwestern’s pitching coach, Gascoigne will stand in the visitor’s dugout this weekend in Norman as the Sooners and Wildcats begin their super regional series.
