CHICAGO — Before every game, Lady Bears head coach Kellie Harper roams the sidelines with her less-than 1-year-old daughter Kiley Harper in her arms while her son Jackson Harper runs around on the court.
Jackson Harper, 5, wears a maroon Lady Bears uniform with the No. 14 — because that was his mom's number when she played at Tennessee.
He dribbles the basketball, takes some shots and goes through the pregame stretches with the rest of the Lady Bears.
