To those of you outside the OU fanbase, Marita is an Asst AD at OU and she was the most instrumental person on the search committee that selected Sherri as BB coach. She was so impressed with Sherri's vision and map of how to get there, she knew she was the right hire right away. Marita is also a persistent supporter of women's sports, not only for OU, but nationally. She has been a driving force behind the women's softball College World Series, that she was inducted years ago as an honorary member of the Softball hall of fame in OKC. She was an integral factor in making the softball world series in OKC successful long before the Sooners ever made their 1st appearance (and national championship) 2 years ago. In fact, all Pac 10 coaches have expressed the desire to keep the tourney in OKC every year because of the support and organization here. And kudos also go to Joe Castiglione for allowing Hynes to spend the kind of time with the softball hall of fame people putting on the event year after year, even though the Sooners were only there the last two.
I know there are a lot of Marita Hynes out there. May they keep the faith and keep working hard to advance women's sports.
