An article in today's Austin American-Statesman, page C3, said that former UT Austin WBB head coach Jody Conradt will be inducted into the Baylor Wall of Honor on November 22nd with a group of 8 new inductees. She played basketball at Baylor 1959 through 1963 and is a graduate of Baylor. She coached at Midway H.S., then Sam Houston State, and then UT Arlington before moving on to UT Austin.

Well-deserved. Sic 'em, Jody!
Her brother is a football letterman, attended '68-'72, from Goldthwaite. Still lives there I think.

Steve Beard is just now in? I'd have thought that would have happened already.
Who was the AD that missed out on hiring her back in the day? Would have been great to go from her to Mulkey.

Wasn't it 3 on 3 or halfcourt back then for WBB?EasyE said:

It was 3 on 3 double half court. Each team had 6 on the floor, 3 for offence and 3 for defense. The 3 offensive players could not cross the half court line where their 3 defensive teammates were guarding the other teams three offensive players and visa versa.Brian Ethridge said:Wasn't it 3 on 3 or halfcourt back then for WBB?EasyE said:

They were still doing that in Tennessee High Schools the first several years after Pat Summit became The University of Tennessee Head Coach. She sent a terse message to whoever the Tennessee High School governing board was telling them that if they did not convert to the 5 on 5 full court game she would "never" recruit another Tennessee girl for her program.
They converted the next season after they got her letter.
That would have to have been Jack Patterson. He made up for that mistake by hiring Grant Teaff.EasyE said:

I don't think we would have hired Mulkey if we had Conradt. They overlapped a few years if I remember correctly.
Jack Patterson viewed women's sports as a threat to his athletic budget - no way he would have hired a women's coach that would have wanted scholarships for women athletes - he fought Olga Fallon on that issue everyday - the only way Suzie Snider Eppers had a scholarship was Clyde Hart gave up half of one of his track scholarships the rest of the team in those early years came to Baylor on Pel Grants, other grants, loans and family resources.BiPolarBear said:That would have to have been Jack Patterson.

This is the "girls" game I grew up watching in high school.BiPolarBear said:It was 3 on 3 double half court. Each team had 6 on the floor, 3 for offence and 3 for defense.

A completely different sense of competition than the evolved 5-player, full-court game.
To have practiced/played as a "defender" back then was a boring, thankless task--assigned to the less-athletic team members who might be taller (defensive rebounder) or could dribble and often "hand-off the ball (literally)" across the midcourt line to an offensive teammate standing immediately across the half court stripe.
That was a half-century ago !!! (late 1960s)
