Yow’s goodbye crafted in her selfless way.

Then, as in death, Yow refused to let anything be about her. It was all about others – the people around her, even the people she didn’t know or could never know.http://www.charlotteobserver.com/college_hoops/story/507840.html

Wolfpack coming to grips with Yow’s death.

Kay Yow sometimes said that basketball offered an escape from her long fight against cancer. Now Yow is gone, and the players and coaches she left behind at North Carolina State don’t know if they can find a similar solace in the sport they love. “We have no idea, do we?” interim coach Stephanie Glance [...]

Yow’s absence felt as players, coaches, refs, fans honor her.

Women’s college basketball games were played Sunday, though clearly foremost on the minds of participants and observers were thoughts of Kay Yow. The pioneering N.C.

Stephanie Glance has been here before. She stepped forward to lead the North Carolina State women’s basketball program when Hall of Fame coach Kay Yow took leave two years ago to focus on her health in her fight against cancer. So few people are better prepared to deal with Yow’s decision this week to step [...]
