Winner’s Spotlight! 29 wins & a Sweet 16 return 17 years in the making. Shea Ralph is our 2026 Werner Ladder Naismith Women’s Coach of the Year. In only her fifth season with the team @SheaRalph’s impact on @VandyWBB went beyond the stat sheet. Through leading with heart and passion Ralph owned up to her commitment to push the program in the right direction and “invest in women” to “win on and off the basketball court”. Proud is an understatement as Coach Ralph has officially restored the standard in Nashville! @Werner_Safety | Media: @VandyWBB

Queens University HC Grant Leonard with a nice quip about Oscar Cluff and Queens' location "Someone asked if I was mad that the Purdue center didn't know we were in North Carolina? No. This is an awesome way to bring more light to the school. Queens is an amazing place. It is life changing. Queen's mission is provide a transformational educational experience to our students. It is a very student-centered culture. But I have been there 13 years, and it has provided a life-changing experience to me. More people need to know about how unique and special Queens is, Charlotte, Myers Park how beautiful the neighborhood is, but how the education, it really prepares people for their next phase in life in a special way. I have been at six schools, and this is by far the most special place I have ever been."
