Arizona Football quarterback Khalil Tate inspired the nation, Wildcats fans, his fans, his family, his coaches and at least one other very special person. Beloved Arizona Women’s Basketball coach and legend, Joan Bonvicini.
Joan has led her teams to 701 career wins overall. She coached the Wildcats for 17 years and in 1995 her team won the NIT Championship. She is the most winningest coach in the history of Arizona Athletics, recording eight 20-win seasons. She also coached Team USA in the 90’s. Bottom line, Joan is well respected and inspirational to many. So much so that she was recently named one of 12 finalists for the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame.
