FROM DR. BAUMGARTNER: IT’S OFFICIAL: I am undefeated!

I am now 1-0 in my career as a NCAAW honorary basketball coach for the day. The Lady Pirates defeated Tulsa, 73-64.

Many, many thanks to the entire organization for asking me, and especially for allowing me to bring both of my daughters. Special thanks to Coach Kim for being so gracious, and, of course to starting point guard Khia Miller, a student of mine, for nominating me.

What an experience!
