Syracuse, N.Y. - Right before the NCAA women's basketball Final Four, Katie Kolinski made a decision.
She would travel to Columbus, Ohio, by herself and network. She would text everybody she knew who might be at the Final Four. She would tell them she was in Columbus, searching for work. She would meet with Nancy Lieberman, a mentor, and tag along with the giant of the game. She would meet many, many people.
And then, she would return to Syracuse and shake more information trees. She would contact people in the NBA. She would contact people in the G League.
