A bit off topic and if so, it can be moved to another board, but long-time NC State Coach Kay Yow passed away after a decades long battle with breast cancer. Yow was at State for years and was actually addressing her breast cancer while fellow WolfPack Coach Jimmy Valvano was still alive. When V died of Cancer, Yow became a driving force in the Coaches vs Cancer movement to raise money and awareness to fight cancer.

I attended a Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser at
the Minnesota Lynx this summer.
Yow's name was prominent.
Kiana Burns (Bison alum) also attended.

God must have needed a good coach.
