Good Morning, Bronco Nation 1/24: Truly Bleeding Blue
This week’s B1 Feature: Truly Bleeding Blue takes a closer look at the Boise State women’s basketball coaching staff.
Good Morning, Bronco Nation! This week’s B1 Feature: Truly Bleeding Blue takes a closer look at the Boise State women’s basketball coaching staff. With two former players on staff (Heather Sower and Cariann Ramirez) who have been coaching with the program for a combined 38 years and a head coach (Gordy Presnell) who has been at the helm for 20 seasons, the Boise State women's basketball staff has been a successful model of consistency in the collegiate ranks.
As the feature notes: “The most exciting part about the program is the future. Though Presnell has 20 years in the bag, he’s still evolving as a head coach. He routinely encourages the staff to pick the brains of their friends in the industry to stay on top of current trends.”
As for Ramirez and Sower, “One thing is for certain with a staff that features two alumnae. They want the program to have unquestionable success.”

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER
Answer: Seattle Pacific!
WBB head coach Gordy Presnell got his first collegiate head coaching gig at Seattle Pacific, then an NAIA program, in 1986, beginning an 18-year tenure with the Falcons. Presnell built the program into a dynasty, garnering 396 career wins and reaching the final of the 2005 NCAA Division II National Championship game with the squad. When the job at Boise State opened up, Presnell had considerable interest in returning to his home state.
🔷 Have an awesome weekend, Bronco Nation
