New Gophers women's basketball coach runs upbeat, intense first practice

The University of Minnesota women’s basketball team’s first full practice of the fall was well underway Monday in its shiny, new fifth-floor facility. On different points of the court, assistant coaches Carly Thibault-Dudonis, Danielle O’Banion and Kelly Roysland were working with players.

On the sideline, near the floor-to-ceiling windows on the north end of the court, head coach Lindsay Whalen was in discussion with senior guard Kenisha Bell.
