    014: Buy In To The Process of Growth w/ Coach Kari Pickens

    Today we interviewed THE Coach Kari Pickens, Guided Ashland to a 60-3 record, two Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament titles, and a GLIAC regular-season championship in her first two seasons as head coach. Still ranks ninth on Ashland's all-time scoring list (1,414 points) despite playing just two seasons in the program. Former Ashland University standout Kari Pickens is well on her way to duplicating as a head coach what she accomplished as a player for the Eagles. Pickens is in her third season as the Eagle women's basketball head coach. She was named the women's basketball program's 13th head coach on April 3, 2018, following five seasons as an assistant, including one as the program's associate head coach. The 2019-20 season saw Ashland finish 31-0 overall and 20-0 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, as the Eagles won both the GLIAC regular-season and tournament championships. Pickens was named the GLIAC Coach of the Year, and Ashland qualified for the NCAA Division II postseason, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In her first season leading the Eagles in 2018-19, Pickens went 29-3 overall and 18-2 in the GLIAC, and AU won its fourth consecutive GLIAC Tournament championship and made its fifth consecutive NCAA Division II postseason appearance. Pickens is synonymous with the success Ashland's women's basketball program has had over the last nine seasons, starting with putting up perhaps the best back-to-back seasons as a player in Division II women's basketball history after transferring from Division I Dayton.
