From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sherri Kay Coale is the current women's basketball coach for the University of Oklahoma Sooners.
Coale (born 1965), who grew up in Healdton, Okla., married Dane Scott Coale (born 1964) on June 20, 1987. The couple has two children, son Colton (born 1992) and daughter, Chandler (born 1996). Coale has one brother, Jack. Their parents are Beverly Stash and Joe Buben.
Sherri Coale accepted her current position in 1996. She went directly from a high school squad (having coached the previous 6 years at the local Norman High School) to an NCAA Division I team. She took over a team in turmoil at Oklahoma and brought it into the national spotlight in 2001 when her team went to the National Championship game.
Her teams continue to improve year after year. In 2005-2006 Coale's Sooners went 16-0 in Big 12 play and became the first Big 12 basketball team, men's or women's, to go undefeated in conference play.
