Coach Harper was fiercely competitive. She rarely sat on the bench to watch a game.
I waited at this staircase for about 5 minutes for Coach Harper to walk up. I loved the “Steps to Success” written on them.
Full of energy, I always thought Coach Harper was just moments away from throwing off these heels and playing in the game herself.
Across Reynolds are the reminders of Coach Kay Yows successes and conquests. You couldn’t shake the feeling that she was always watching.
A spotlight shines both literally and figuratively on Coach Harper.

It was obvious at the outset of starting this project that the bond between Coach Harper and the players was very strong. They love her; it’s obvious every time I was around the team.
During the 2009-10 basketball season I was hired by NC State’s Alumni Association to work with them on a behind-the-scenes story on Kellie Harper, the university’s new head women’s basketball coach. I was given amazing access to the team both on and off the court during this story.Â
Yesterday it was announced that Coach Harper would not return for the 2013-14 season. I was sadden to hear that as I had so much fun working for her. She was full of life and such a fierce competitor. She was really kind to me and the writer, Cherry Crayton, as we worked on this story.

Kellie Harper
Sorry to hear that NC State’s women’s basketball head coach Kellie Harper will not be coming back. I don’t know the back story, but I do know that she was a great person. Her first season I did a behind-the-scenes story on her and found her warm and welcoming. Best to her for the future.Â

Selfie with Andrew Brackman
During the season-long story I did on Andrew Brackman, I snuck in for one photo. He’s with the Cinn Reds now. Had such a fun time doing this photo story. #baseball #ncsu
