Through the first minute and a half of her postgame press conference following the Hurricanes’ 72-67 win over Jackson State, Miami head coach Katie Meier made no mention of her program-topping 304th win.
She instead focused on the players and key moments that guided the Canes to their season-opening victory is a testament to the unselfish and egoless ideals upon which she has built a coaching career spanning nearly three decades.
Meier began her coaching career at North Carolina Asheville, where she served as an assistant coach during the 1993-94 season. She went on to work as an assistant coach at Tulane and then as a head coach at Charlotte, before arriving at Miami for the 2005-06 season.
