Cheryl Miller spent a year and a half trying to get someone to return her phone calls, but no one wanted to take a chance on the Hall of Fame basketball star as their women’s basketball coach. That is until Langston University, a small HBCU in Oklahoma, decided to give her a shot.
In a two-part interview with TSL Sports Talk Radio (owned by the Shadow League), Miller opens up with host Mark Gray about the challenge of finding a job, the “comedown†from the glory days of her University of Southern California-to-WNBA career as a player to the small conference school, and what it means for her brand.
