Head Coach of Georgia Tech Women's Basketball, Nell Fortner, joined Not For Long Media!
Colin and Nell talked about her time winning Gold as the Coach of USA Women's Basketball, what it takes to establish a culture at Georgia Tech, her travels around the globe recruiting, coaching, playing, etc., and a stroll down memory lane as they relieved some of Nell’s “glory days” as a two-sport athlete at the University of Texas.
One of the most successful coaches in women’s basketball history, Fortner has compiled a 342-207 (.623) record as a head coach at the collegiate, professional and international levels. She has led teams to Big Ten (Purdue – 1997) and Southeastern Conference (Auburn – 2009) championships and coached the U.S. national team to three international titles, including the gold medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Most recently, Fortner guided the Yellow Jackets to a 2021 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearance. Prior to her arrival to GT, Fortner held head coaching positions at Auburn (2004-12) and Purdue (1996-97), as well as the U.S. National Team and Indiana Fever. She has also served as an analyst for ESPN for almost a decade.
A native of Jackson, Miss., Fortner played basketball and volleyball at Texas, where she is a member of the University of Texas Women’s Athletics Wall of Honor and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. (Info from Georgia Tech)
