Head coach J.R. Payne and the University of Colorado women’s basketball team were not certain that incoming freshman Frida Formann was going to be able to get back into the country in time for fall camp. The American embassy in Formann’s home country of Denmark was closed for months because of lockdowns and construction. Although Formann was eventually able to enter the U.S. for her freshman season, this example only signifies the new reality college coaches face during the coronavirus pandemic. Payne and her Buffs have not been immune to these challenges and are adjusting their lives and training in hopes of having a breakthrough season.
