Same here. She was always pleasant to talk to. I wish her and Mr. Fookes well.

Fantastic coach (obviously!) but even better person! Congrats Nell!

Thanks for posting. Great article by Terry. Most impressive stat:

 

None of her teams finished a season with a losing record.

Great coach and great family! Wonder who will be stomping their foot on the floor next year for Boone?

Coach Fookes was successful in what she did and how she did it. Wish her nothing but the best in retirement!

There is no voice like Nell's that can penetrate a crowded and noisy gymnasium. She will be missed. If she's interested, I hope she can pick up a headset and microphone and do some color commentary. She would be outstanding.
