Jody Conradt in Basketball Hall of Fame

With more than 700 wins under her belt, Jody Conradt is women's college hoops' most successful coach and - along with the likes of Dean Smith and Adolph Rupp - one of the winningest coaches in all of college basketball. Next month, she will join Celtic star-turned-Pacers coach Larry Bird and other basketball legends in the Hall of Fame. Conradt, only the second woman to ever receive the honor, can take more than a little credit for the development of the women's game and its explosion in popularity on both the collegiate and professional level. Conradt's talent, humor, and grace have long been prized here in Austin. We're thrilled to see it celebrated on the national stage as well.
