NORMAN — In the midst of practicing her shots for the Play4Kay National Free Throw Challenge, Oklahoma women's basketball coach Sherri Coale took a couple of seconds to clown around Tuesday afternoon.
She took a break from her normal routine of three dribbles and a shot to attempt a couple of underhand granny shots.
She laughed as she flung the ball toward the goal, exuding the same youthful energy that would soon fill the Lloyd Noble Center the next morning as more than 8,000 school children filled the seats for the third annual Sooner Jr. Fan Field Trip.
