Coale's Next Win is No. 300
Sherri Coale will be aiming for her 300th coaching win when OU hosts Kansas Saturday, Jan. 23.
Coale's first win came in her first game as OU's head coach, a 62-50 victory over Oral Roberts on Nov. 22, 1996.
The 100th win came 170 games later on Feb. 5, 2002, a 69-60 win over then-No. 10 Baylor at Norman.

Iowa State's Bill Fennelly and Kansas State's Deb Patterson are the only other active coaches who were at their respective schools when the league was formed.
Thompson Becoming One of a Kind
Senior forward Amanda Thompson, a.k.a. `The Waitress', loves to serve up people. She's only the second Sooner ever -- the other being Courtney Paris -- to record 100 blocks and 100 steals in her career.
Thompson is also nearing her 1,000th point, 750th rebound and 250th career assist, which puts her in a class of her own.

OU junior Danielle Robinson finished the 2008-09 season as one of the nation's leading free throw shooters. And this year, she is finding many of her opportunities at the line.
Robinson is 55-of-69 (.797) from the charity stripe this season, including a 22-of-23 (.957) effort in Big 12 games.
Against Texas A&M Sunday, Jan. 17, Robinson made a career high 10-of-11 free throws en route to a 24-point performance and Sooner victory.
