NORMAN — After a weekend of her former players relaying their feelings on racial insensitivity during their time playing at OU, Sooners women's basketball coach Sherri Coale released a statement Sunday night.
"To hear the concerns raised by my former student-athletes is disheartening, because it is clear that I have unknowingly caused harm to people I care deeply about," Coale said. "Over my career, I have taken pride in the work that I have done on the court and the commitment to the personal growth of the women I've been responsible for leading. While I have always had the intent of expressing care for others, it is clear that there have been moments where my intent has not been the same as my impact — for that, I sincerely apologize.
