Douglas was the 2000 and 2001 Big Ten Player of the Year, and was named the 2001 Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year. A two-time All-Big Ten pick, Douglas is one of six Purdue players under Curry to earn fi rst team all-conference honors. Shereka Wright, now an assistant on Curry’s staff at Tech, was the 2000 USA Today and Gatorade High School Player of the Year out of Copperas Cove, Texas, and fi nished her four-year career under Curry as Purdue’s second all-time leading scorer. Following her senior season, in which she led the Big Ten in scoring in conference games, Wright earned fi rst team honors on the inaugural Wooden Women’s All-America Team. Lubbock native Erika Valek, a four-year starting point guard for the Boilermakers, capped her career by winning the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award as the nation’s top player under 5-foot-8. The on-court success of her teams has carried over into the classroom as well. Twenty-four times her student-athletes received Academic All-Big Ten distinction since 2000. Every Boilermaker who fi nished her playing career at Purdue during Curry’s tenure graduated. Curry began her coaching profession in her home state of Louisiana as she started at the prep level at Weston (1988-90) and Mansfi eld (1990-91) high schools.
