Kay Yow golf classic coming up

Chances are if you are looking for a prominent women's college basketball coach the weekend of Sept. 13-14, they will be in Greensboro, N.C. taking part in the second annual Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund 4Kay Golf Classic.

UConn's Geno Auriemma is among the impressive list of coaches who are scheduled to be in attendance. Yes, Tennessee's Pat Summitt will also be there so feel free to insert the overused "only Kay Yow could get Geno and Pat together" schtick is you are so obliged.

On a more serious note, this is a great cause and I can think of no greater legacy for a class person like Kay Yow than to have her name used to raise thousands and thousands of dollars for cancer research. For the coaches, I'm sure it will be a welcome diversion from their hectic schedules traveling from state to state for home visits with recruits. The quiet period is set to end on Sept. 6 so from Sept. 7-Oct. 14, college coaches will be making the rounds looking to either seal the deal with uncommitted prospects, reconnect with those who have already committed or zero in on some new candidates.

Yow will also be inducted posthumously into the FIBA Hall of Fame on Sept. 20 in Katowice, Poland.
