AUSTIN, Texas — A half-hour after her Longhorns defeated Oklahoma on Feb. 25, giving her a 100th coaching victory at Texas, women's basketball coach Gail Goestenkors was asked how she would celebrate her 49th birthday the next day.
Fresh off the finest hour of the season, her face still flushed with excitement, Goestenkors paused, stared into the TV cameras and said, "I'm going to watch tape of Missouri. Lots of tape."
Her response drew hearty laughter among those in the room, but Goestenkors was not kidding. It was late February in a difficult season and, birthday or not, she would spend the following day scouting Texas' next opponent.
"The only thing I'm concerned about is Missouri, period," she said.
