'There's just a very good vibe between them right now': Q&A with Sooners coach Sherri Coale

NORMAN — Sherri Coale has a chance to reach a special milestone Sunday.

Heading into OU’s home game against TCU, Coale has 499 career wins.

Coale, who was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016, would become the first Sooners basketball coach — in either men’s or women’s — to reach the 500-win mark with the school.

After an up-and-down start, Coale’s Sooners have won three consecutive games and are tied for second place in the Big 12 a season after going just 8-22 overall and 4-14 in the conference.
