(2000, 2001). 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. From there, Curry quickly moved to the college ranks as an assistant at Tulane for two seasons (1991-93). Curry then spent a year at Stephen F. Austin (1993-94) before moving on to Texas A&M for the next two years (1994-96). She then returned to the state of Louisiana to be an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech for Hall of Famer Leon Barmore for three seasons (1996-99).

Curry has already taken a huge step toward that as she signed a top 10 recruiting class in the nation in just her fi rst year at Texas Tech. In her fi rst stint as a head coach, Curry was hired as the head coach at Purdue in April of 1999, becoming the fi rst coach in NCAA history to in- herit a national championship-winning team. She led her fi rst squad to four- straight wins in the 1999-00 season, extending Purdue’s school-record win streak to 34 consecutive games, a mark that ranks sixth all-time in NCAA history. In her seven years at the helm of the Boilermakers, she compiled a career record of 179-51 (.778) and was 86-26 (.768) in Big Ten Conference games. Curry’s teams won two Big Ten regular-season (2001, 2002) and three Big Ten Tournament (2000, 2003, 2004) championships. She also guided her teams to seven NCAA Tournament appearances, including the Final Four and championship game in 2001. Curry became just the second coach in NCAA history to guide her team to the NCAA championship contest in her second year as a head coach. On Feb. 27, 2003, Curry won her 100th game as a head coach with a 74-48 victory against Indiana. Curry needed only 126 games to reach the milestone, and got there faster than any coach in Purdue history. In addition, Curry recorded her 100th victory quicker than coaching icons such as Pat Summitt of Tennessee, Geno Auriemma of Connecticut, Tara VanDerveer of Stanford and Jody Conradt of Texas. Not only has Curry had successful teams, but she coached some very successful student-athletes in her time in West Lafayette. Under Curry’s leadership at Purdue, Katie Douglas became only the third player in Big Ten history and the fi rst Purdue player to earn two Kodak All-America honors
