Bruin Basketball Coach Named To Hall Of Fame
Lady Bruins basketball coach Krista Binam has been named a charter member of the Summit League Hall of Fame for her time as a standout basketball player at Oral Roberts University from 1996-2002.
One of the most decorated woman's basketball players in the league's history, she was the first to earn three Player of the Year honors. She won both the Newcomer of the Year and Tournament MVP award as a freshman, while leading Oral Roberts to its first NCAA Tournament appearance. As a sophomore, she began her run of three consecutive league Player of the Year honors, while earning a second career Tournament MVP honor in 2001. A first team all-league performer each of her four seasons, she ended her college career as the league’s all-time leading scorer and the first to surpass 2,000-points. She played in the WNBA before embarking on a high school coaching career, and is now coaching the Lady Bruins in Bartlesville.
Institutions in the Summit League include: University of Denver, Indiana University-Purdue, University-Fort Wayne, Indiana University-Purdue, University-Indianapolis, North Dakota State University, University of Nebraska Omaha, Oral Roberts University, the University of South Dakota, South Dakota State University and Western Illinois University.
