Hey Coach!
It was former coaches day on the House floor today.
The House just honored Jody Conradt -- the much-loved UT Women's Basketball coach who recently retired after 31 years with the team.
Then they lauded her long-time rival, former Texas Tech Womens' Basketball coach Marsha Sharp. Sharp retired a couple of seasons back.
In Conradt's remarks, she compared the end of the legislative session to the end of the basketball season (if ONLY it was that dramatic).
"I know it must be much like the end of a basketball season right now," she said. "We appreciate what you do, and I certainly appreciate the recognition that you've given me this morning."
Sharp called it a "terrific honor" to represent "the great university in Lubbock."
"Together we have built something very speical there that i'm very proud of."
Luckily, they were honored separately. Not sure if these on-the-court foes have set aside their differences in retirement.
